From time to time a single voice surfaces: "It is all one life and one memory." It sings of Ampofo, human cargo brought across the seas, of Sally, enslaved as a breeder of slaves, of Tomas, the master's banished son, of Antoinette, summoned by angels, of Robert, unseeing tourist in his ancestral land, and of Brenndan, imprisoned and damned by his violence. And all the voices belong to Calvin Baker, whose tautly lyrical Naming the New World brings the horror and healing of a people to our national literature.
