Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

?Fantastically entertaining and deeply engaging.potent distillations of creative rage, social critique, and subversive wit.??Washington Post ?Terrifying and fearlessly inventive.??New York TimesThe first complete collection of Wanda Coleman?s original and inventive sonnets.

Newton and Herman Melville, Amiri Baraka and Robert Duncan?tell Coleman?s own tale, as well as the story of Black and white America. From ?American Sonnet 2?: towards the cruel attentions of violent opiates as towards the fatal fickleness of artistic rain towards the locusts of social impotence itself i see myself thrown heart first into this ruin not for any crime but beingThis is a collection of electrifying truth that only an artist such as Wanda Coleman can deliver.…
