In His Sweeping Third Collection, Charleston Brings A PoetS Ear For Echo And Rhythm To Bear On American History And Life After 2016. For Charleston, These Rhymes Cut Two Ways: The Long Tradition Of American Racism And Fascism, And The Steady Pulse Of Black Persistence. The CollectionS Titular Invocation Frames Each Poem, At Times An Oratory To Rally A Crowd, In Other Moments A Private Prayer Whispered As The Speaker Gathers Himself To Face Another Day. Charleston Insists That Should We Cede Memory Of Our National BiographyWhether To Repression Or IndifferenceWe Will Witness The CountryS Dissolution Into Something Unrecognizable To Many, Yet All Too Familiar To Its Most Marginalized People. But With Each Reiteration And Riff, He Also Invokes A Tenuous HopeThat If We Summon An American History Of Black Resistance, We Might Still Make A More Perfect Union.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northwestern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47953673715957,"sku":"DADAX0810149648","price":42.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/716B5FHDNFL.jpg?v=1775497060","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/its-important-i-remember-poems","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
