<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>NAACP Image Award finalist, Jamaal May exposes a fractured self and the violent acts blindly accepted as part of being alive.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Praise for Jamaal May: </p><p>Linguistically acrobatic [and] beautifully crafted. . . . [Jamaal May's] poems, exquisitely balanced by a sharp intelligence mixed with earnestness, makes his debut a marvel.--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p><p>Following Jamaal May's award-winning debut collection, <i>Hum </i>(2013), these new poems explore parallel landscapes of the poet's interior and an insidious American condition. Using dark humor that helps illuminate the pains of maturity and loss of imagination, May uncovers language like a skilled archaeologist--digging up bones of the past to expose what lies beneath the surface of the fragile human condition.</p><p><b>From: Ask Where I've Been: </b></p><p><i>Ask about the tornado of fists.<br>The blows landed. If you can<br>watch it all--the spit and blood frozen<br>against snow, you can probably tell<br>I am the too-narrow road winding out<br>of a crooked city built of laughter, <br>abandon, feathers and drums.<br>Ask only if you can watch streetlights bow, <br>bridges arc, and power lines sag, <br>and still believe what matters most<br>is not where I bend<br>but where I am growing.</i></p><p><b>Jamaal May </b>is a poet, editor, and filmmaker from Detroit, Michigan, where he taught poetry in public schools and worked as a freelance audio engineer and touring performer. His poetry won the 2013 Indiana Review Poetry Prize and appears in journals such as <i>Poetry</i>, <i>Ploughshares</i>, the <i>Believer</i>, <i>NER</i>, and the <i>Kenyon Review</i>.
