	Eschewing series and performative typography, Douglas Kearney's Sho aims to hit crooked licks with straight-seeming sticks. Navigating the complex penetrability of language, these poems are sonic in their espousal of Black vernacular traditions, while examining histories, pop culture, myth, and folklore. Both dazzling and devastating, Sho is a genius work of literary precision, wordplay, farce, and critical irony. In his "stove-like imagination," Kearney has concocted poems that destabilize the spectacle, leaving looky-loos with an important uncertainty about the intersection between violence and entertainment.]]></description><link>https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C17341078</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C17341078</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kearney, Douglas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/17341078981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798891060265/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sho]]></title><description><![CDATA[Eschewing series and performative typography, Douglas Kearney's Sho aims to hit crooked licks with straight-seeming sticks.

With genius precision and an avant-garde sensibility, Kearney examines the nuances around Black visibility and its aestheticization. In myriad ways, Optic Subwoof is a book that establishes Kearney as one of the most dynamic writers and thinkers of the twenty-first century.]]></description><link>https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15579445</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15579445</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kearney, Douglas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/15579445981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781950268733/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patter]]></title><description><![CDATA[For a couple struggling with infertility, conception is a war against their bodies. Blood and death attend. But when the war is won, and life stares, hungry, in the parents' faces, where does that violence, anxiety, and shame go? The poems in Patter re-imagine miscarriages as minstrel shows, magic tricks, and comic strips; set Darth Vader against Oedipus's dad in competition for "Father of the Year;" and interrogate the poet's family's stint on reality TV. In this, his third collection, award-winning poet Douglas Kearney doggedly worries the line between love and hate, showing how it bleeds itself into "fatherhood."]]></description><link>https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18714416</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C18714416</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kearney, Douglas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/18714416981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781597096515/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lebaron]]></title><link>https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5198550</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5198550</guid><category><![CDATA[MUSIC_DOWNLOAD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[LeBaron, Anne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5198550147</comments><format>MUSIC_DOWNLOAD</format><subtitle>Crescent City (a Hyperopera)</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black Nature]]></title><description><![CDATA[This book is the first anthology to focus on nature writing by African American poets, a genre that until now has not commonly been counted as one in which African American poets have participated.  Black poets have a long tradition of incorporating treatments of the natural world into their work, but it is often read as political, historical, or protest poetry, anything but nature poetry. This is particularly true when the definition of what constitutes nature writing is limited to work about the pastoral or the wild. The author has selected 180 poems from 93 poets that provide unique perspectives on American social and literary history to broaden our concept of nature poetry and African American poetics. This collection features major writers such as Phillis Wheatley, Rita Dove, Yusef Komunyakaa, Gwendolyn Brooks, Sterling Brown, Robert Hayden, Wanda Coleman, Natasha Trethewey, and Melvin B. Tolson as well as newer talents such as Douglas Kearney, Major Jackson, and Janice Harrington. Included are poets writing out of slavery, Reconstruction, the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Arts Movement, and late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century African American poetic movements. It also  brings to the fore a neglected and vital means of considering poetry by African Americans and nature-related poetry as a whole.]]></description><link>https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C2405936</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C2405936</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hackley.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2405936147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780820332772/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
