Description
In these poems, Reginald Dwayne Betts turns to the sharp music of language—where humor, grief, and moral urgency share the same breath. With a high-level sweep that moves from personal memory to public life, the collection traces how communities endure, how violence echoes through generations, and how hope persists even when it feels out of reach. Blending lyrical intensity with accessible, sometimes playful forms, the poems explore themes of justice, accountability, and the complicated work of becoming whole. Betts’s distinctive voice—grounded in clarity, emotional precision, and social conscience—makes each piece feel both intimate and urgently contemporary.
