The poems in Ed PavlicÌ's Let It Be Broke are ignited by sonic memories-from Chaka Khan on the radio to his teenaged daughter singing "Stay" at a local cafeÌ-that spark a journey into personal and ontological questions. PavlicÌ's lyric lines are equal parts introspection and inter-spection, a term he coins for the shared rumination that encourages a collective "deep think" about the arbitrary boundaries that perpetuate racial and geographic segregation and the power of words to transcend those differences. In an epiphanic moment, PavlicÌ recalls a quote shared by a former teacher as "a hammer made of written words," and how he held "onto those words / as if they were steel bars and I was dangling over some bright black deepness.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $v Poetry. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Ethnic groups $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Minorities $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Poetry. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200502010235.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=34C4D0B08C3A11EAB4A2F82B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
