These lyrics of queer desire meet the voices of enslaved ancestors to reckon with a lineage of trauma that manifests as silence, pain, and haunting memories, but also as want and love. In bops, lyrics, and erasures, \u003ci\u003eHeed the Hollow\u003c\/i\u003e tells of a heritage anchored to the landscape of the coastal South, to seawalls shaped by forced labor, and to the people \"marked into the bottom \/ of history where then now \/ we find no shadow of life.\" From that shadow, the voices in these poems make their own brightness, reclaiming their histories from a language that evolved to exclude them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644450093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2019 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Malcolm Tariq","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36664496193692,"sku":"9781644450093","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2061016f-bf99-4c5e-9fcf-90a4497e23c4.jpg?v=1603906835","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/heed-the-hollow-poems-9781644450093","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
