Poetry. African American Studies. From his work delivering services to people on the street to his position as a camera operator for Tiger baseball, KiM d. Hunter has managed to work much of his life in Detroit into BORNE ON SLOW KNIVES. "there is that cobalt blue between us and the sun/ translucent and unstable/ the color that rises on Friday/ after you've spent too much on liquor/ or tornados have slipped beneath radar/ grinning/ you are on your way/ to that part of town where the old people/ have lost none of there strength/ where the memory of crushing skull is fresh/ and unfettered/ the land where/ stingy brim straw hats with blue bands of cloth/ abound/ and many purses hold unforgiving objects/ you can hear the meat cooking and smell the blues/ for miles neither will give out till morning . . ."-from "gonna have a funky good time."
