Description

The Ferguson Report: An Erasure by Nicole Sealey is a powerful meditation on the aftermath of Michael Brown's tragic death in 2014. This book redacts and reimagines the original report, stripping away its language to reveal the disturbing context that remains. Through her work, Sealey sheds light on the racist policies and practices that have become commonplace, exposing the disproportionate arrest rates and flagrant violence directed at the Black community. The result is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to live in this frightening age and to bear witness. Sealey's poem has already gained critical acclaim, winning the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem in 2021. This book offers a unique perspective on one of the most revealing texts of modern times, making it an essential read for anyone interested in poetry and social justice.
