Smith intertwines descriptions of some of the most painful realities of Black life with consistent reminders that there is more to Black life than suffering. The balance between poems centering death and lament and those centering life and joy combined with Smith's acute imagery and adroit phrasing are what made this work so powerful and resonate for me. I look forward to reading more of their work. ( ) a chapbook which ransacks culture, the cultural products of both white and black america, equally critical of both. more than anything though, smith directs their attention towards police brutality, producing some of the most heartbreaking and agonising verse known to man. the tone is angry, of course, but also proud of african-american history, culture and perseverance and - at times - perhaps even hopeful. short, but immensely long-lived effects. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"These harrowing poems make montage, make mirrors, make elegiac biopic, make 'a dope ass trailer with a hundred black children / smiling into the camera & the last shot is the wide mouth of a pistol.' That's no spoiler alert, but rather, Smith's way-saying & laying it beautifully bare. A way of desensitizing the reader from his own defenses each time this long, black movie repeats."-Marcus Wicker "Danez Smith's BLACK MOVIE is a cinematic tour-de-force that lets poetry vie with film for the honor of which medium can most effectively articulate the experience of Black America."-Rain Taxi Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
