Description

Dark Testament Blackout Poems by Crystal Simone Smith is a powerful collection that gives voice to those whose lives were unjustly lost to violence. With poems inspired by George Saunders's Lincoln in the Bardo, this masterwork explores collective mourning and crafts a call to action for a more just future. These gripping verses unmasks a dialogue of tragic truths, shedding light on the stories of lives taken too soon. Alongside the poems, the book includes an introduction by the author, a Q&A with George Saunders, and a full-color photo-insert commemorating victims of unlawful killings. A timely and affecting tribute to those protesting in their honor, Dark Testament Blackout Poems is a remarkable reckoning with our present moment.
