Description
Morgan Parker's Magical Negro is an archive of everyday Black life, a collection of poems that explore themes of loneliness, displacement, grief, and objectification. These American poems are both personal narratives and social commentary, tackling tropes and stereotypes of Black Americans while focusing on depictions of Black womanhood.
The poems in Magical Negro create a space of witness, airing grievances and pointing out patterns. They are living documents that sit firmly in the past as well as the present, capturing timeless Black melancholies and triumphs. Through these poems, Parker sheds light on interior and exterior politics, both of the body and society.
