Description
In this acclaimed debut collection, poems unfold like tracks on an album, drawing on jazz, soul, pop, and the rhythms of spoken language to explore desire, loneliness, memory, and identity. Jericho Brown’s speakers move through the charged intersections of love and violence, intimacy and loss, race and sexuality, often searching for a voice capable of expressing what words alone cannot hold. Visceral, musically structured, and unflinchingly intimate, the collection transforms personal and cultural history into poems that feel at once like gifts, confessions, and pleas.
