...died. The most recent poems included in Collected Poems are hardly as fiery as his earlier works, revealing his doubts about the new African states and about his own ideals. But the mingling of pleasure and violence and the searing images remain. His themes of mythology and negritude still haunt his poems, as in the brutal yet hopeful "Ferments...
...lazy, sunlit hill town of San Felice Val Gufo, whose main industry is gossip and main activity leisure. Its happy-go-lucky air is eminently well suited to the semi-elegant foreign riffraff-lascivious artists, terminal good-for-nothings, dotty Brits, retired CIA agents and indiscriminate snobs-who haunt the area.

But the other family members are often deadly serious; they express themselves in Composer Henry Krieger's capacious Tin Pan arias, which haunt the ear without paying much more than lip service to the Afro rhythms that energized his Dreamgirls score. In the final gasp of the show's schizophrenia, young Willie comes to a perverse decision about the show he has dreamed of appearing in. It satisfies his parents...
