Words Need Love Too represents perhaps Kamau Brathwaite's most concentrated effort at fashioning a new literary tradition out of the fragmented pieces/rhythms/nation languages that form the New World. The poems in this volume are dreamstories. It is a harvest of dreams of a new world cleansed in ancestral blood loved without reservation by those born into it and with it so that through it they can shape a new reality a new desitiny. No other poet living or dead makes us participants in and co-celebrants of the liturgy of the word like Brathwaite.
