Jones tells the story of a young, black, gay man from the South as he fights to carve out a place for himself, within his family, within his country, within his own hopes, desires, and fears. Through a series of vignettes that chart a course across the American landscape, Jones draws readers into his boyhood and adolescence--into tumultuous relationships with his family, into passing flings with lovers, friends, and strangers. Each piece builds into a larger examination of race and queerness, power and vulnerability, love and grief: a portrait of what we all do for one another--and to one another--as we fight to become ourselves. An award-winning poet, Jones has developed a style that's as beautiful as it is powerful--a voice that's by turns a river, a blues, and a nightscape set ablaze. How We Fight for Our Lives is a one-of-a-kind memoir and a book that cements Saeed Jones as an essential writer for our time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Jones, Saeed. 650 0 $a African American authors $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gay authors $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Large type books. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print African-American series. 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031300.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220104011054.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210716010108.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14A2184EE5FB11EB9DB2ACEA33ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
