Fables, Foibles & Other ‘Merican Sins
“Revolutionary, intersectional, internationalist, insurrectionary and above all unapologetically opposed to any and all threats to Black life, this stirring new collection of poetry by Amoja Sumler leaps off the bounds of paper and into the pages of history. From the hellscape of a modern Guernica made up of proud boys to the lynch mobs just lying in wait in a white Jane’s gaze, Sumler paints an unflinching look at a world of white menace. This gothic noir holds a mirror to a nation purchased in blood and held together in lies. Do not look away. These are truths that cannot be reconciled.”
—Matt Sedillo, author of Mowing Leaves of Grass and Literary Director of the dA Center for the Arts in Pomona, California
