Edition: Trade paperback, 2nd printing.
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, (2014). Award winning African American poet's fourth collection - a "montage of poems, wherein film serves as the setting for contemplative trances, memoir, and pure fantasy. At its center is a sonnet sequence that imagines the struggle of pioneer filmmaker Oscar Micheaux against D. W. Griffiths The Birth of a Nation, which Micheaux saw not only as racist but also as the start of a powerful new art form.. . an extended riff on Jordans life as a moviegoer and a brilliant exploration of film, poetry, race."
