Saeed Jones

Prelude to Bruise (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Jones is the editor of BuzzfeedLGBT and had an enormous audience both there and on social media (10k followers), as well as terrific connections in the poetry world

Jones is a frequent guest of reading series (he headlined the Rumpus/Guernica holiday party with Geoff Dyer) and tireless self-promoter. He has fans, and he likes to get in front of them

Jones' background speaks to so many different communities: he is a gay black Buddhist, raised in the South and California, and his poetry is deeply informed by what all those identities mean as they compete with and support each other

Jones fits in nicely on our list, and should appeal to readers of Patricia Smith (she's a fan of his, and they share a similar slam poetry energy)

The book, unlike much poetry, progresses through time, giving readers somewhat of a narrative to carry them along
