There's always an awareness, implied or explicit, of the sociopolitical crucible. With language both tough-minded and celebratory, Alan King ignites the important details of his experience, compelling us to ask \u003ci\u003ewhat-plus-what\u003c\/i\u003e added up to our own lives.\" TIM SEIBLES, author of \u003ci\u003eFast Animal\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOne Turn Around the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Alan King is one of my favorite up-and-coming poets of his generation. His poems are not pop and flash, rather more like a slow dance with someone you're going to love forever. Here you will find poignant slices of life, so bright in a rough age of race killings and hate speech. He reminds us that what matters has always mattered.\" JOY HARJO, poet, musician, performer, and teacher\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silver Birch Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036193472752,"sku":"9780997797220","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780997797220_p0.jpg?v=1763941051","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780997797220","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
