Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Poetry. African American Studies. LGBT Studies. PLEASE explores the points in our lives at which love and violence intersect. Drunk on its own rhythms and full of imaginative and often frightening imagery, PLEASE is the album playing in the background of the history and culture that surround African American/male identity and sexuality. Just as radio favorites like Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, and Pink Floyd characterize loss, loneliness, addiction, and denial with their voices, these poems' chorus of speakers transform moments of intimacy and humor into spontaneous music. In PLEASE, Jericho Brown sings the influence soul culture has on American life with the accuracy of the blues.

Drunk on its own rhythms and full of imaginative and often frightening imagery, Please is the album playing in the background of the history and culture that surround African American/male identity and sexuality.

I was a student at the University of Houston enrolled in the Creative Writing Program -- when Jericho was there. I recently read some of his poems from this book and they are simply dazzling. I love the realness and beat with his poetry. I like the honesty and boldness of his work as well. I would tell anyone to read this book then sign up for a class with Jericho Brown.
