Featuring work from well-loved poets such as Rita Dove, Jericho Brown, Warsan Shire, Ross Gay, Tracy K. Smith, Terrance Hayes, Morgan Parker, and Nikki Giovanni, This Is the Honey is a rich and abundant offering of language from the poets giving voice to generations of resilient joy, "Beach incantation," as Mahogany L. Browne puts it in her titular poem, is "Ba jubilee of a people dreaming wildly." This essential collection, in the tradition of Dudley Randall"s The Black Poets and E. Ethelbert Miller"s In Search of Color Everywhere, contains poems exploring joy, love, origin, race, resistance, and praise. Jacqueline A.Trimble likens "Black woman joy" to indigo, tassels, foxes, and peacock plumes. Tyree Daye, Nate Marshall, and Elizabeth Acevedo reflect on the meaning of "home" through food, from Cuban rice and beans to fried chicken gizzards. Clint Smith and Cameron Awkward-Rich enfold us in their intimate musings on love and devotion. From a "jewel in the hand" (Patricia Spears Jones) to "butter melting in small pools" (Elizabeth Alexander), This Is the Honey drips with poignant and delightful imagery, music, and raised fists. Fresh, memorable, and deeply moving, this definitive collection a must-have for any lover of language and a gift for our time. -- $c Flap. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Poetry. 650 0 $a American poetry $x African American authors. 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Alexander, Kwame, $e editor. 941 $a 13 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010504.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011143.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010538.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020826.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045333.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20240402013104.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240402011015.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030403.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240302011646.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20240302011302.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240224010820.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240207010336.0 952 $l ZKPC437 $d 20240203010514.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E6B16C28C26111EE8AAD6E6423ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
