Prelude to Bruise by Saeed Jones
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 1.4 MB
Overview: It’s a big book, a major book. A game-changer. Dazzling, brutal, real. Not just brilliant, caustic, and impassioned but a work that brings history―in which the personal and political are inter-constitutive―to the immediate moment. Jones takes a reader deep into lived experience, into a charged world divided among unstable yet entrenched lines: racial, gendered, political, sexual, familial. Here we absorb each quiet resistance, each whoop of joy, a knowledge of violence and of desire, an unbearable ache/loss/yearning. This is not just a ‘new voice’ but a new song, a new way of singing, a new music made of deep grief’s wildfire, of burning intelligence and of all-feeling heart, scorched and seared. In a poem, Jones says, ‘Boy’s body is a song only he can hear.’ But now that we have this book, we can all hear it. And it’s unforgettable.
