Acclaimed poet Kevin Young gathers here a chorus of voices that tells the story of the Africans who mutinied onboard the slave ship Amistad. Written over twenty years, this poetic epic--part libretto, part captivity epistle--makes the past present, and even its sorrows sing. --Alfred A. Knopf.

"A poetic epic that tells the story of the slaves, most from Sierra Leone, who staged a mutiny, taking over the "Amistad" 1839, featuring the voices of the jailed rebels' African interpreter, the mutineers themselves in letters to their lawyer John Quincy Adams and others, and rebel leader Cinque."
