"William Evans, the award-winning poet and cofounder of the popular culture website Black Nerd Problems, offers an emotionally vulnerable poetry collection exploring the themes of inheritances, dreams, and injuries that are passed down from one generation to the next and delving into the lived experience of a black man in the American suburbs today"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I very much enjoyed this collection from Evan —intimate, often domestic, beautifully expressed. Here is a relatively short poem as illustration….
GOOD STORM
A good thunderstorm
can still knock some sense
into the night, still pull
the wind from dreams
you didn’t plan on re-
living, still send a child
from her bed as if it
were a hum
under her skin, still carve
enough space between
her mother and I to make
a house a home, still
find a lake of ageless
water under our covers
where she is still the age
she first found this quiet,
and aren’t we just waiting
on the sun to summon
the next shift or thunder
to stop? Whichever
sacrifice comes first. ( )
