About The Book

Praise for Jamaal May:

“Linguistically acrobatic [and] beautifully crafted… [Jamaal May’s] poems, exquisitely balanced by a sharp intelligence mixed with earnestness, makes his debut a marvel.” — Publishers Weekly

Following Jamaal May’s award-winning debut collection, Hum (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.

From: “Ask Where I’ve Been”:

Ask about the tornado of fists.

The blows landed. If you can

watch it all — the spit and blood frozen

against snow, you can probably tell

I am the too-narrow road winding out

of a crooked city built of laughter,

abandon, feathers and drums.

Ask only if you can watch streetlights bow,

bridges arc, and power lines sag,

and still believe what matters most

is not where I bend

but where I am growing.
