Description
Jericho Brown's anthology explores the craft of writing through the experiences and expertise of over 30 acclaimed Black writers. This unique collection delves into the complexities of style, authenticity, and the role of ethnicity in shaping creative expression. The contributors share their insights on various topics, from decolonizing metaphors to the pain of grief in art. Pulitzer Prize winner Jericho Brown examines the lives personified in poetry, while Angela Flournoy illuminates the ways in which grief can be revealed through creation. Nikki Giovanni offers a powerful elegiac declaration on language. This anthology is not a traditional "how-to" guide, but rather a validation of the complexity and range of styles found in Black writing. By exploring these profound questions, Brown's collection seeks to guide writers towards finding their own unique voice and truth.
