2. A War Of Eyes And Other Stories By Wanda Coleman
   Wanda Coleman. Born in Watts, daughter of a boxer and a domestic who workedin movie stars' homes, Wanda Coleman grew up to be a fighter.  
   http://www.blacksparrowpress.com/War_of_Eyes.html
   
   Extractions: Born in Watts, daughter of a boxer and a domestic who worked in movie stars' homes, Wanda Coleman grew up to be a fighter. "The ebony Amazon," she calls herself in the title piece here, "subservient to none." Her stories back up that claim, matching the powerful punch of her poetry. A War of Eyes glows with the same fiery energy, vibrates in the same real-life-voice-register as Mad Dog Black Lady Imagoes (1983), and Heavy Daughter Blues: Poems and Stories 1968-1986 Most of Coleman's characters are black and poor. They inhabit certain tight, dark corners of Los Angeles where pain and humiliation and defeat take the place of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A pregnant teenager must overcome nausea to fend off creditors in a seedy office; a young mother dreams of opening her own family restaurant but ends up being recruited by pimps; a drug runner gets set-up by his partner; a punch-drunk ex-boxer-turned-preacher is gunned down by police. In the future-is-now world of A War of Eyes , everyone must be constantly combat-ready for the next face-off, with survival always at stake.

Beginning in 1977, she has published eight books of poetry and fiction, including Mad Dog Black Lady A War of Eyes and Other Stories (1988), and African Sleeping Sickness: Stories and Poems (1990). In 1984 she won a Guggenheim Fellowship for poetry. Coleman focuses on the failures and triumphs of urban African American women struggling against anonymity, poverty, racism, sexism, and violence. Like many blues lyrics, Coleman's writing is consistently direct and stark. She spotlights issues of power and subordination. Her works typically concentrate on sexual characters, relationships often characterized by men's severe mistreatment of women. Violence often erupts in her stories. Many of her female characters face the dilemma of wanting to express their passionate heterosexuality but contending with abusive and sometimes violent males. While most American writers prefer to ignore urban, dispossessed African American women, Wanda Coleman portrays their lives directly and sympathetically. Author Links What's American On this site, Coleman responds to the question posed by the Poetry Society of America, "What is American about American poetry?" There is also an extended interview. As well, Coleman discusses the place of her own poetry in the overall development of American poetry as well.
