Description

Incendiary Art by Patricia Smith is a powerful exploration of the devastating impact of racial violence on black male bodies and the mothers left behind. Through dynamic sequences, including a chronicle of Emmett Till's murder, Smith addresses the ongoing national mayhem and mourning that continues to shape our world today. With impassioned eloquence, Smith reinvents the role of witness, fusing prose poems, ghazals, sestinas, and sonnets into an incendiary fusion of forms. This phenomenal book confronts the darkest aspects of history, revealing what is both frightening and revelatory about our present moment. Winner of the 2018 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award and 2018 NAACP Image Award, Incendiary Art is a searing work that demands attention and sparks conversation.
