Len Lawson's Chime is the rough melody reverberating from the whirlwind of these times and past times touching the singular and collective Black body. While the poems have a broad preoccupation with mortality and trauma, they are ultimately life-affirming.

Here are words that you need to read, that we all do. -Cortney Lamar Charleston, author of 2016 Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize winner, Telepathologies…mehr
