Brown
By:Kevin Young
Published on 2018-04-17 by Knopf

James Brown. John Brown's raid. Brown v. the Topeka Board of Ed. The prize-winning author of Blue Laws meditates on all things |brown| in this powerful new collection. Divided into |Home Recordings| and |Field Recordings,| Brown speaks to the way personal experience is shaped by culture, while culture is forever affected by the personal, recalling a black Kansas boyhood to comment on our times. From |History|--a song of Kansas high-school fixture Mr. W., who gave his students |the Sixties / minus Malcolm X, or Watts, / barely a march on Washington|--to |Money Road,| a sobering pilgrimage to the site of Emmett Till's lynching, the poems engage place and the past and their intertwined power. These thirty-two taut poems and poetic sequences, including an oratorio based on Mississippi |barkeep, activist, waiter| Booker Wright that was performed at Carnegie Hall and the vibrant sonnet cycle |De La Soul Is Dead,| about the days when hip-hop was growing up (|we were black then, not yet / African American|), remind us that blackness and brownness tell an ongoing story. A testament to Young's own--and our collective--experience, Brown offers beautiful, sustained harmonies from a poet whose wisdom deepens with time.

Can You Keep a Secret? By:Karen Perry Published on 2017-08-24 by Penguin UK Surviving the weekend depends on whether you can keep a secret . . .
