"Invited Guest, as is the case with really good anthologies, significantly shapes the history of the literature it surveys." - Mary Ellis Gibson, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, editor of Homeplaces: Stories of the South by Women Writers "Rigsbee and Brown have selected not only the well-known or signature poems, but also poems that are not often anthologized, making Invited Guest fresh and interesting. This work is enjoyable and informative, incisive and insightful." - Joanne V. Gabbin, James Madison University, editor of The Furious Flowering of African American Poetry
