Kearney's Buck Studies refashions and expands the methods and aims of his earlier work, his talents for collage and performative disruption and vision regarding the black male experience is sorely needed in a post-Trayvon world that mainstreams white supremacy. This is a mature and realized collection that is confrontational but musical, somber and ecstatic by turns and some of the best output yet from Kearney. ( ) "Buck Studies" is "a potent cocktail of political anger and radical formal experimentation.” Review available at the New York Journal of Books: http://www.nyjournalofbooks.com/book-review/buck-studies geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"[Douglas Kearney] is at the other end of the century, using a multicultural voice inflected with the concerns of what it means to be a young black man at this time and at this place."--The Los Angeles Times Dynamic poet, performer, librettist, and professor Douglas Kearney's works speak to those who are listening to what our living, material language has to say about race and history. At the hub ofBuck Studies is a long mash-up of the stories of Herakles, the Greek bad-man, and that of Stagger Lee, the black bad-man. "Stagger Put Work In" examines the Twelve Labors Herakles performed to atone for murdering his family through Stagger Lee's murder of black man Billy Lyons. What is enacted by this appropriation is an exhaustion of forms--gangsta rap and its antecedent, the murder ballad. only good one dead one we scold our mirror. should've been dead before Stagger wrassled it bull-headed red-blind muscle-a-muscle. bully and bull stagger the city levee round round round.
