Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. A genre-bending exploration of poetry, photography, and human migrationanother revelatory visual expedition from the National Book Awardwinning poet who changed the way we see art, the museum, and the Black female figure. Winner of the PEN/Voelcker Award for PoetryLewis pushes the limits of language and image, composing lines alongside a cache of hundreds of photographs found under her late grandmothers bed only days before the house was slated to be razed. Kevin Young, The New YorkerTwenty-five years ago, after her maternal grandmothers death, Robin Coste Lewis discovered a stunning collection of photographs in an old suitcase under her bed, filled with everything from sepia tintypes to Technicolor Polaroids. Lewiss family had survived one of the largest migrations in human history, when six million Americans fled the South, attempting to escape from white supremacy and white terrorism. But these photographs of daily twentieth-century Black life revealed a concealed, interior history. The poetry Lewis joins to these vivid images stands forth as an inspiring alternative to the usual ways we frame the old stories of race and migration, placing them within a much vaster span of time and history.In what she calls a film for the hands and an origin myth for the future, Lewis reverses our expectations of both poetry and photography: Black pages, black space, black timethe Big Black Bang. From glamorous outings to graduations, birth announcements, baseball leagues, and back-porch delight, Lewis creates a lyrical documentary about Black intimacy. Instead of colonial nostalgia, she offers us an exalted Black privacy. What emerges is a dynamic reframing of what it means to be human and alive, with Blackness at its center. I am trying / to make the gods / happy, she writes amid these portraits of her ancestors. I am trying to make the dead / clap and shout.
