Bury My Clothesby Roger Bonair-agard
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"Impressive."—Amiri Baraka "Bonair-Agard's lyricism is sharpened by a deep sense of politics, a profoundly muscular intelligence, and a sensuality that can be wholly and beautifully dangerous."—Kwame Dawes I am a black poet—plain and simple / black first. I do not know / if I am a poet before I am a man / or a man before I am a poet. / I come from a people who have / ways of telling such things. / I come from a people / whose history is inside history. Roger Bonair-Agard is a Cave Canem fellow and author of Tarnish and Masquerade and Gully. Synopsis:A stirring meditation on violence, race, and the place in art at which they intersect, by poet Roger Bonair-Agard. Synopsis:Bury My Clothes is a meditation on violence, race, and the place in art at which they intersect. Art—specifically in oppressed communities—is about survival, Roger Bonair-Agard asserts, and establishing personhood in a world that says you have none. Through poetry, we transform both the world of art and the world itself. About the AuthorRoger Bonair-Agard is a Cave Canem fellow, two-time National Poetry Slam Champion, and author of Tarnish and Masquerade and Gully. He has appeared three times on HBOs Def Poetry Jam and is Co-founder and Artistic Director of the LouderARTS Project in New York.
