Into Each Room We Enter Without Knowing by Charif Shanahan
In Into Each Room We Enter without Knowing, poet Charif Shanahan explores the various ways in which we as a species inherit identity constructs, chiefly about race and sexuality, and how we navigate those constructs in the creation of our identities.
Shanahan breaks fresh ground in this painfully raw debut, dissecting the self in its cultural context via speakers who fearlessly claim both vulnerability and culpability. . . Shanahan’s is a vital and profound new voice, and his eyebrow-raising interrogation leaves the reader with afterimages 'as the eye/ after the shock flash/ still sees/ the lightning.'" - Publisher's Weekly
