Description
Black Box by Frank X Walker This powerful collection of sixty-eight poems is a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of identity, community and social justice. Written with passion, clarity and emotional honesty, the poems in Black Box shed light on the experiences of African Americans living in the rural South. Through a unique blend of autobiography, literary allusions and political commentary, Walker creates a vivid portrait of life in "Affrilachia", a term he coined to describe the lives of those who call this region home. The result is a devastatingly beautiful journey that illuminates profound experiences at the intersection of race, love, family, identity and place. Published by Old Cove Press in 2006, Black Box is a significant contribution to contemporary American poetry.
