Description

Fraternal Light: On Painting While Black is a poignant collection of poems that pay tribute to Beauford Delaney's remarkable life and work. Arlene Keizer's evocative verses offer a powerful response to the artist's experiences, shedding light on his resilience in the face of adversity.

Delaney's paintings, particularly his portraits, have long been celebrated within African American cultural circles and bohemian artistic communities. However, it is only now that his work is receiving the recognition it deserves. Keizer's poems serve as a diasporic ceremony of remembrance for this visionary artist, making his life and art visible to a wider audience.

These poems offer a nuanced exploration of Delaney's life, one that acknowledges both the challenges he faced and the beauty of his work. A timely tribute to an often-overlooked figure, Fraternal Light is a powerful celebration of Black creative brilliance.
