Spoken in quiet recognition and grounded in desire, \u003ci\u003eSeptet for the Luminous Ones\u003c\/i\u003e imagines a lush soundscape textured in oblique spiritual fusion of the Ta?o and Yoruba. Or, what it sounded like coming together for the first time, and what it sounds like ever after, breathless, diaspora calling. Similar to the incidents in \u003ci\u003eMaroon Choreography\u003c\/i\u003e, what resounds in these poems is an ecstatic love song of the Caribbean Americas, of the main lands and islands, shaped and reshaped as breathwork, ritual, communion, and fantasy. In essence, the collection speaks to raise the vibrational frequencies of all beings on Earth through a pulse of Black English. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[sample poem]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003epreface to a twenty-volume spiritual ascent\u003cbr\u003eneoromanticism\u003cbr\u003ethe seven players, and our consorts\u003cbr\u003ei am like a radio, channel of my own\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fahima Ife\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081950095X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819500953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Downloadable Audio\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot available to be shipped via Media Mail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fahima Ife","offers":[{"title":"Downloadable Audio","offer_id":44761444516095,"sku":"9780819500953","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5ad0c81-8fa7-4148-af64-041efd120f6b.jpg?v=1706681343","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/septet-for-the-luminous-ones-fahima-ife-9780819500953","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
