Poetry. African American Studies. This collection of intense, speech-inflected poems is presented in five sections: miscellaneous blues, jog. stoo (cornbreadschitterlingsphatback...), shakerag, tobaccotown, and uncle sambo. In the new millennium the human diet will require the consumption of raw food. Foods rich in things not just for sustenance, but for ultimate thriving. If the mind food you've been eating, the ideas you've been stewing, the poetry you've been tolerating for longer than you care to remember is overcooked, then open up and prepare to receive. r.c. glenn's insights are a mixture of kerosene, lit torches, and raw, Black urban-angelsongs. For maximum potency, chew well before swallowing - Nikky Finney.
