Harlins's death is symbolic for all murders of Black people, but Taylor carefully examines the event's particulars. Some of the collection's multimedia elements include photographs taken at the site of Empire liquor store, now a Numero Uno Market, and outside of Harlins's school. Taylor vividly recalls being told about Harlins with language as incendiary as it is haunting: "And when I found her name, fear had me/ rip a switch from its yard. Fear had me/ creased over a knee to be depleted." She relays the knowledge of racial injustice: "This horror was first told to me when I entered my body, so as I settle in unsettling skin, I book a room inside her absence." Taylor brilliantly illustrates the shadows that hang over Black life in America, but also the joys, such as the elders who educate and protect the younger generations, and also nurture and fiercely love them. . ."--Publisher marketing 586 $a Cave Canem Poetry Prize, 2021 600 10 $a Harlins, Latasha. 650 0 $a Rodney King Riots, Los Angeles, Calif., 1992 $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Murder $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Shoplifting $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Girls, Black $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Women, Black $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Racism $v Poetry. 650 0 $a White nationalism $v Poetry. 700 1 $a Griffiths, Rachel Eliza, $e author of introduction. 941 $a 6 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011313.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024943.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20231104011813.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031915.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231005010446.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230405012222.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AF52462EA39211ED924352D529ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
