Navigating the complex penetrability of language, these poems are sonic in their espousal of Black vernacular traditions, while examining histories, pop culture, myth, and folklore. Both dazzling and devastating, Sho is a genius work of literary precision, wordplay, farce, and critical irony. In his \"stove-like imagination,\" Kearney has concocted poems that destabilize the spectacle, leaving looky-loos with an important uncertainty about the intersection between violence and entertainment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Kearney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950268152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950268153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wave Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Book Awards - Finalist","brand":"Douglas Kearney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055127425279,"sku":"9781950268153","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa05f467-9bf9-42d4-86e9-9b209176a245.jpg?v=1685033942","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sho-douglas-kearney-9781950268153","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
