A milestone publication of the late Christopher Gilbert's poetry, with an introduction by the National Book Award winner Terrance Hayes Lord, the anguish of my Black block rises up in melike a grief.
My only chance to go beyond being breach--to resist being quelled as a bit of inner city entropy--is to speak up for the public which has birthed me.
To build this language house.
To make this case.
Create.
This loving which lives outside time.
Lord, this is time.
