A creditable addition to the scholarship on a writer now firmly ensconced in American literary history.
—Arnold Rampersad, Times Literary Supplement
A compelling explanation for why Toomer lapsed into literary obscurity . . . The result is an absorbing story of a seminal figure in American literature. Byrd’s excellent study belongs on the same bookshelf as Nellie McKay’s Jean Toomer, Artist and Cynthia E. Kerman and Richard Eldridge’s The Lives of Jean Toomer.
