Paul Breman and Arna W. Bontemps
Published in London by Paul Breman between 1962 and 1975,
the Heritage Series of Black Poetry consists of twenty-seven volumes by
new African American and black poets as well as those of older generations
whose work had not previously appeared in book form. The series featured
photographic covers and biographical information
about the authors, many of whom were, at the time of publication, unknown
but for their appearances in such compilations as The Poetry of the
Negro, 1746–1949: An Anthology edited by Arna W. Bontemps (1902–73)
and Langston Hughes (1902–67).
