Wires that Sputter

<b>A powerful debut collection from an award-winning artist, public speaker, and poet.</b><br><br>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.
