What does it mean to feel exiled both away from and at “home”? What does it mean to miss something?In forms such as the sonnet, ghazal, and triolet, Aurora Americana takes up the distant and recent past of the United States, from Thomas Jefferson to the deadly “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, Virginia. But the book also meditates on smaller, momentary encounters across racial and national barriers, from evocations of Francophone Africa to a screening of Black Panther in Portugal for a mostly white audience. Allusions to Fannie Lou Hamer, Frantz Fanon, Prince, John Coltrane, Alessandro de’ Medici, Ahmed Zaki, Modesto Brocos y Gómez, Nasser Zefzafi, and others anchor the collection. With poems set at or near dawn, Aurora Americana explores an ominous yet hopeful new morning in America, one in which potential cataclysm exists alongside possibility and change.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Myronn HardyGenre: Poetry & DramaBook Series: Princeton Series of Contemporary PoetsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
