Requests:  0 Summary:  "Evie Shockley's new poems invite us to dream-and work-toward a more capacious 'we'. In her new poetry collection, Evie Shockley mobilizes visual art, sound, and multilayered language to chart routes towards openings for the collective dreaming of a more capacious 'we.' How do we navigate between the urgency of our own becoming and the imperative insight that whoever we are, we are in relation to each other? Beginning with the visionary art of Black women like Alison Saar and Alma Thomas, Shockley's poems draw and forge a widening constellation of connections that help make visible the interdependence of everyone and everything on Earth. perched i am black, comely, a girl on the cusp of desire. my dangling toes take the rest the rest of my body refuses. spine upright, my pose proposes anticipation. i poise in copper-colored tension, intent on manifesting my soul in the discouraging world. under the rough eyes of others, i stiffen. if i must be hard, it will be as a tree, alive with change. inside me, a love of beauty rises like sap, sprouts from my scalp and stretches forth. i send out my song, an aria blue and feathered, and grow toward it, choirs bare, but soon to bud. i am black and becoming. -after Alison Saar's Blue Bird"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 811.6 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Shockley Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Sh in Processing Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Sh In Cataloging Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Sh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList
