A major figure in the Black Arts Movement and a founding member of the Umbra workshop, Lorenzo Thomas is one of the most heralded authors of his generation. Dancing on Main Street, Thomas’s long-awaited collection spanning many decades of his career, blends traditional lyricism with a surrealist’s touch and a realist’s eye. Together, these poems form a cinematic look at the obsessions, -pleasures, trials, and tribulations of life on Main Street. Lorenzo Thomas, who was born in Panama and grew up in New York City, is a poet, critic and professor of English at the University of Houston. His books of poetry include Chances Are Few, The Bathers and Sound Science . He is the recipient of two Poets Foundation awards and the Lucille Medwick Prize.
