Dear Darkness by Kevin Young
Delivered in Young s classic bluesy tone, this powerful collection of poems about the American family, smoky Southern food, and the losses that time inevitably brings bristles with life, nerve and, best of all, wit (San Francisco Chronicle).Kevin Young's first book, Most Way Home, was chosen for the National Poetry Series and received the Ploughshares Zacharis First Book Award. His second collection of poems, To Repel Ghosts, a double album based on the late artist Jean-Michel Basquiat's work, was a finalist for the Academy of American Poets' James Laughlin Prize. Young's work has appeared in publications such as The New Yorker, The Paris Review, The Kenyon Review, and Callaloo. He is the editor of the anthologies Giant Steps: The Next Generation of African American Writers and Blues Poetry, both published by Everyman's Library Pocket Poet.
