Description

Jericho Brown's The New Testament is a powerful exploration of the intersections between race, sexuality, and contemporary American society. With poems of immense clarity and lyricism, Brown sheds light on a world marked by disease, violence, and trauma, where these issues are passed down through generations. Brown's use of Bible stories to address the gay experience is both personal and political, refusing to sacrifice nuance in his pursuit of truth. This collection has been recognised for its brilliance and subversiveness, offering a speech adequate to the complex times we live in.
