Hi Velanche,
Others have already beat me to the most obvious suggestions, but here's a
compilation that ought to be required for your collection: OUR SOULS HAVE
GROWN DEEP LIKE THE RIVERS, on Rhino Records. It's a double-CD that covers
the whole spectrum of black poetry.
Also, here's a playlist from an all spoken-word show I did back in 1999.
You'll find some interesting things on it, no doubt:
