Description
SON OF BYFORD is a meandering mining of meaning from the memory of many middle passages. This collection refracts 1970’s shades of Black and blues that give way to hip hop, post-millennium tensions, and godless queer queryings, informed by love, conviction, and hope.
Poetry. African & African American Studies
