To the Realization of Perfect Helplessness by Robin Coste Lewis
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 188 MB
Overview: A genre-bending exploration of poetry, photography, and human migration–another revelatory visual expedition from the National Book Award–winning poet who changed the way we see art, the museum, and the Black female figure.
Twenty-five years ago, after her maternal grandmother’s death, Robin Coste Lewis discovered a stunning collection of photographs in an old suitcase under her bed, filled with everything from sepia tintypes to Technicolor Polaroids. Lewis’s family had survived one of the largest migrations in human history, when six million Americans fled the South, attempting to escape from white supremacy and white terrorism. But these photographs of daily twentieth-century Black life revealed a concealed, interior history. The poetry Lewis joins to these vivid images stands forth as an inspiring alternative to the usual ways we frame the old stories of “race” and “migration,” placing them within a much vaster span of time and history.
