The Body
You must be connected to earth to read this book, because its effect is that of a live wire. Reader, get yourself grounded and then open these pages! You will be changed by reading, by being within the world of these words of manifestation and realization. It is the new foundation. -Dr. Raina J. León These verses by Tureeda Mikell sing the centuries of abuse and exploitation of Black bodies with utmost storytelling prowess, lustrous clarity, and galactic tone. -Youssef Alaoui Both powerful and philosophical, The Body: Oracle of Memory must be read by all lovers of poetry and the power of the written word. -Robert Alexander Tureeda Mikell's collection delineates paths to healing that open wh...
The Body
This is creative non-fiction poetry that tests the limits of standard religious, psycho-logic, physio-logic limitations of normative knowledge. The poetry recovers the body's intelligence, the interior or the intuitive-deemed-illusionary, or inferior-a form of psychosis or sin if exposed. It has been said, civilization is the renunciation of instinct. These poems resist an insistence that children should not be permitted to see Spirit or Ghost. From a loved one seeing a leech-like creature around a relative's head before the onset of disease, to seeing a body's energy field hold the same image revealed in an art exhibit the following day. This is the body's oracle of memory via flesh, blood, bone; via a train derailed, relocating its track into the future.
Never Catch Me
2023 Midwest Book Award Winner 2023 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist Darius Simpson’s debut collection Never Catch Me centers on Black boyhood in the midwest and familial disintegration over time. Simpson pulls back the curtain, exposing the violence enacted against and upon, Black bodies, and yet, still, each poem is saturated in revolution and hope. Never Catch Me is the anthem necessary to organize a community that is committed to a better right now–one that can only be achieved with an intensity and action that goes far beyond the page.

Company of Prophets

Honoring the Ancestors
Claude Lockhart Clark is an African-American woodcarver whose work is an expression of his African cultural heritage as well as a personal statement. Clark's repertoire illustrates the concept of "tradition" as both continuity and change. His carved stools in particular are closely linked to family history, carved as memorials to ancestors and as repositories for locks of hair passed on from generation to generation in his family since the mid-1800s. And yet, the stools can be traced to African antecedents still being made in tribal villages today. Clark's work is thus examined in the context of an African aesthetic legacy and of the urban African-American community in which he lives. Past and present contribute equally to the artist's sense of ethnic identity which finds a creative outlet in his artwork.
