| Description: |
Bold, formally innovative prose poems that challenge our ideas of race, voice, bodies, and justice. |
| Synopsis: |
Good Stock had its origins in a libretto Lundy Martin wrote for the Whitney Biennial, and are arranged in a way reminiscent of a song cycle, offering a different context for considering the poetry, and an exciting formal construct for the ideas in play. The poems speak to contemporary conversations about race, voice, bodies, and justice in ways that bend and break easy narratives, making the challenges of this moment alive. Lundy Martin is an activist and has long been engaged with creating structures to support black writers. At Pittsburgh, she is a cofounder and codirector for the Center for African American Poetry and Poetics, which gives her work on behalf of poets a new platform and prominence. Lundy Martin's work is perfect for the CHP list and fits in with other writers like Anna Moschavokis and Anne Waldman-she's an immensely serious avant-garde writer whose concerns are deeply rooted in the material suffering of the world. |
