Paperback. Condition: Good. Owed is a book with celebration at its centre. Its primary concern is how we might mend the relationship between ourselves and the people, spaces, and objects we have been taught to think of as insignificant, as unworthy of reflection, attention, or care. Spanning the spectrum of genre and form - from elegy and ode to origin myth - these poems elaborate an aesthetics of repair and ask that we turn to the songs and sites of the historically denigrated so that we might uncover a new way of being in the world together, one wherein we can truthfully reckon with the brutality of the past.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The debut collection from a 2021 Whiting Award and Guggenheim Fellow recipient whose ?astounding, dolorous, rejoicing voice is indispensable? (Tracy K. Smith)   The Sobbing School, Joshua Bennett?s mesmerizing debut collection of poetry, presents songs for the living and the dead that destabilize and de-familiarize representations of black history and contemporary black experience. What animates these poems is a desire to assert life, and interiority, where there is said to be none. Figures as widely divergent as Bobby Brown, Martin Heidegger, and the 19th-century performance artist Henry Box Brown, as well as Bennett?s own family and childhood best friends, appear and are placed in conversation in order to show that there is always a world beyond what we are socialized to see value in, always alternative ways of thinking about relation that explode easy binaries.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Across three sequences, Joshua Bennett's new book recalls and reimagines social worlds. Bennett opens with a set of autobiographical poems that deal with themes of family, life, death, vulnerability, and the joys and dreams of youth. The central section, 'The Book of Mycah,' features an alternate history where Malcolm X is resurrected from the dead, as is a young black man shot by the police some fifty years later in Brooklyn. The final section are poems that Bennett has written about fatherhood, on the heels of his own first child being born last fall.…
