Description
Roger Bonair-Agard, a veteran of the spoken-word scene and a two-time National Slam Champion, reads several of his poems from Tarnish and Masquerade, featuring a live reading in Munich, Germany. His poems chart an exile's coming-of-age and an increasingly relevant immigrant's experience. Whether set in Trinidad, Washington Heights, Texas, Brooklyn, or other less-fixed locales, these poems written (and spoken) with equal parts joy and fury are full of clarity, compassion and unsentimentality.
Poems include:
- "cane brulee"
- "chantuel hymns"
- "The devil in music"
- "Bullet Points"
- "1981"
- "The mandate"
- "photo graph"
- "1986"
- "Bird Watching"
- "weusi alphabet"
- "song for trent lott"
- "truth applies for a green card"
- "the sadness of migration"
- "blue sex prodigy"
- "weusi alphabeti" (live reading in Munich, Germany)
- "in the same breath as my father" (live reading in Munich, Germany)
- "how the ghetto loves us back" (live reading in Munich, Germany)
- "love rev 2" (live reading in Munich, Germany)
- "naming and other Christian things" (live reading in Munich, Germany)
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Bonair-Agard is a poet who fixes his experience with memory and uses memory image as analyzer of his experience. A poet of live language mastering it's literary 'statement'. Someone whose poetry can be entered and felt and understood. An impressive work." (Amiri Baraka)
