In brilliant, often ironic lines that move from meditation to matter of fact in a single beat, Sealey's voice is always awake to the natural world, to the pain and punishment of existence, to the origins and demises of humanity. Exploring notions of race, sexuality, gender, myth, history, and embodiment with profound understanding, Sealey's is a poetry that refuses to turn a blind eye or deny. It is a poetry of daunting knowledge"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 7 $a POETRY / American / General. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 5 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012025056.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221103012644.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710101917.0 952 $l YYPC162 $d 20180410020034.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20171102010931.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2E568852BF9311E7812CC30897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
