Dispatch (Paperback)

Paperback. Set against the media environment that saturates even our most intimate spaces, Dispatch attends to, revises, and thinks adjacent to the news of racial/gendered violence in the US, from the nineteenth century to the present day. These poems ask: What kind of revisions will make this a world/a story that is concerned with my peoples flourishing? How ought I pay attention, how to register perpetual bad news without letting it fatally intrude? Cameron Awkward-Rich is among the most bracing voices to emerge in recent years, a dazzling exemplar of poetrys (and humanitys) possibilities. Winner of the 2018 Lexi Rudnitsky EditorsChoice Award, Cameron Awkward-Richs intimate second book of poems attempts toreckon with and withstand American violence.
