Smith explores the cognitive dissonance that results from belonging to a community that unapologetically celebrates black humanity while living in a world that often renders blackness a caricature of fear. His poems move fluidly across personal and political histories, all the while reflecting on the social construction of our lived experiences. Smith brings the reader on a powerful journey forcing us to reflect on all that we learn growing up, and all that we seek to unlearn moving forward. 541 $d 20220607. 650 $a African Americans $x Social conditions $v Poetry. 650 $a Black people $x Race identity $v Poetry. 655 4 $a Poetry. 941 $a 2 952 $l ZKPC437 $d 20230221010654.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728012018.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=53E83B4E0CA811EDB1735DF129ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
