Wires That Sputter

<b>A powerful debut collection from an award-winning artist public speaker and poet.</b> <p/><b>Trillium Book Award for Poetry Finalist</b><br><b>Gerald Lampert Memorial Award Shortlist</b><br><b>Pat Lowther Memorial Award Shortlist</b><br><b>Raymond Souster Award Longlist</b> <p/>With propulsive intimate stylings and an eye toward Black liberations pop culture sports and familial fractures <i>Wires that Sputter</i> meets the world with the posture of a portraitist and the deftness of a poet-as-acrobat as seeker. Here in these wondrous poems is an attentiveness toward that which harrows as well as that which heals toward the power of space-giving and fragmentation. Rupture and recovery tribute and tribulation a revivifying musicality and room to breathe--all dapple these pages where electricity manifests in every line.
