The Black Homer of Jimtown
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
The Black Homer of Jimtown (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Black Homer of Jimtown Jimtown is in the piney woods, where the air is soft and dry and balmy, and people live long. The Black Homer dwells there. If you should journey that way, you may find him at his cabin, or perhaps at work in the turpentine woods. Look him up, and it may be that he will tell you tales like these, if not some that will be still more startling, of the days his old mammy and Mahs' McKeever were wont to remember, either personally or by proxy.

Black Odysseys
This book explores works from Africa and the African diaspora which respond to the Homeric Odyssey. As a founding text of the Western canon, and as a homecoming trope and quest for identity, the Odyssey has inspired writers who are simultaneously striving against and appropriating the very forms which had been used to oppress them.

A Black Odyssey
This diverse, vibrant book is modeled, like Joyce's Ulysses, on Homer's ancient epic, using it as an allegorical scaffolding for the poet's own experience as a Black man in contemporary America. The author's language runs the gamut from the vernacular to the Elizabethan; everything from pattern poems, free verse, prose poems, sonnets to parodies of Mother Goose. Remarkable in scope, every poem stands on its own while arranged in chapters that lead the reader through an epic journey of human trials-poverty, desire, injustice, racism-and ultimately to a transcendent awareness of beauty, joy, love and personal triumph.
A Black Country Miscellany
Through a series of thoroughly referenced snapshots in time Andrew Homer explores specific aspects of the Black Country and its surrounding area covering topics as diverse as the Black Death and Brutalist architecture. Students of Black Country and West Midlands local history will find detailed references and extensive bibliography to aid further research. Readers with a keen fascination for the history of this region will discover much of interest within these pages. Chapters cover the Black Death, English Civil War, rural life, aristocracy and industry, hop picking, art and architecture, the chainmaking womens' strike of 1910 and the extraordinary story of Black Country chainmakers kidnapped by the Germans before the First World War. A Black Country Miscellany focusses on some of the events, places and people who helped to forge this area of the West Midlands.
