The 1994 conference Furious Flower: A Revolution in African American Poetry was one of the first if not the first academic conference dedicated entirely to Black poetry. Over 30 poets attended and the event was dedicated to the life and work of Gwendolyn Brooks. This and subsequent conferences derived their name from Brooks' poem "The Second Sermon on the Warpland" which reads "The time cracks into furious flower / Lifts its face all unashamed / And sways in wicked grace." A notable assemblage of poets from an important moment in Black culture; we find no copies in retail and fewer than ten holdings in OCLC.
