Wanda Coleman Imagoes Signed Black Sparrow 1983

Description

Wanda Coleman—often called the unofficial poet laureate of Los Angeles—brings a sharp, unsentimental voice to Imagoes, a collection that moves between personal experience and broader social observation with precision and force. Her work captures the tension of lived experience in Los Angeles, particularly around race, gender, and class, without ever slipping into abstraction or distance.

Published by Black Sparrow Press during what some call its “most influential period”, this signed limited edition reflects the press’s distinctive design and commitment to important contemporary voices. Coleman’s work has only grown in recognition over time, making early, signed Black Sparrow editions like this increasingly sought after.

Signed Coleman doesn’t stay long.
