Download or read book Killing Poetry written by Javon Johnson and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2019 Lilla A. Heston Award Co-winner of the 2018 Ethnography Division’s Best Book from the NCA In recent decades, poetry slams and the spoken word artists who compete in them have sparked a resurgent fascination with the world of poetry. However, there is little critical dialogue that fully engages with the cultural complexities present in slam and spoken word poetry communities, as well as their ramifications. In Killing Poetry, renowned slam poet, Javon Johnson unpacks some of the complicated issues that comprise performance poetry spaces. He argues that the truly radical potential in slam and spoken word communities lies not just in proving literary worth, speaking back to power, or even in altering power structures, but instead in imagining and working towards altogether different social relationships. His illuminating ethnography provides a critical history of the slam, contextualizes contemporary black poets in larger black literary traditions, and does away with the notion that poetry slams are inherently radically democratic and utopic. Killing Poetry—at times autobiographical, poetic, and journalistic—analyzes the masculine posturing in the Southern California community in particular, the sexual assault in the national community, and the ways in which related social media inadvertently replicate many of the same white supremacist, patriarchal, and mainstream logics so many spoken word poets seem to be working against. Throughout, Johnson examines the promises and problems within slam and spoken word, while illustrating how community is made and remade in hopes of eventually creating the radical spaces so many of these poets strive to achieve.

Book excerpt: A finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and a national bestseller, Zoe Whittall’s The Best Kind of People is a stunning tour de force about the unravelling of an all-American family. George Woodbury, an affable teacher and beloved husband and father, is arrested for sexual impropriety at a prestigious prep school. His wife, Joan, vaults between denial and rage as the community she loved turns on her. Their daughter, Sadie, a popular over-achieving high school senior, becomes a social pariah. Their son, Andrew, assists in his father’s defense, while wrestling with his own unhappy memories of his teen years. A local author tries to exploit their story, while an unlikely men’s rights activist attempts to get Sadie onside their cause. With George locked up, how do the members of his family pick up the pieces and keep living their lives? How do they defend someone they love while wrestling with the possibility of his guilt? With exquisite emotional precision, award-winning author Zoe Whittall explores issues of loyalty, truth, and the meaning of happiness through the lens of an all-American family on the brink of collapse.

This book was released on 2016-12-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substance abuse and addiction darkened Daniel L. Trotter's doorstep early. He was smoking by age seven, and by middle school, he was firmly entrenched in a risk-seeking lifestyle that included addictions to alcohol, drugs, and pornography. High school brought with it Daniel's first dalliance with meth. Not surprisingly, he went to jail-more than once. But after two decades of addiction-Daniel had had enough. So he tried replacing the drugs with exercise. He got strong. He began healing his body-but his mind was still a wreck. Depressed and suicidal, he was at the end of his spiritual rope. He needed a new kind of strength, and he found it after a radical encounter with God during a thirty-day fast in the wilderness. Daniel's memoir demonstrates that you can surmount any obstacle if you pursue a relationship with a God whose abilities are limitless. Daniel now supports anyone trying to overcome adversity and addiction. As you journey through the ups and downs of life with Daniel in A Different Kind of Strong, his passion for helping others move beyond recovery into true freedom will shine through.
