520    Loving, enraged, wounded, heroic. These are our fathers, 
       our black fathers. In startlingly beautiful prose, poetry,
       and fiction some of our most gifted writers pay tribute to
       the complex relationship between sons, daughters, and the 
       first and most important man in their lives. Some search 
       for their fathers in painful memories that haunt them from
       childhood through adolescence into their own parenthood; 
       others celebrate their fathers' lives and the gifts their 
       fathers. 
520    gave them and their own children. Despite the enormous 
       range of experiences, each writer affirms the central role
       this relationship has played in their lives.
