The poems in this collection address the cultural and spiritual needs of Black people. In Dawnsong! Touré successfully develops a heroic poetry that creates its own artistic matrix. In these poems Touré takes the reader back to ancient Egypt and, at the same time, demonstrates the relevance of Egyptian history and, at the same time, demonstrates the relevance of Egyptian history and mythology to the lives of contemporary Africans on the continent and in the diaspora.
