Synopsis
BLACK LIVES MATTER! Released during Black History Month, this collection, featuring three distinct voices in conversation, offers readers an experience of protest, engagement, and sympathy evoked by the Civil War yet set against the contemporary Black Lives Matter movement of 2020. Al Salehi is a Persian-American poet and entrepreneur whose parents immigrated from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Ivy Schweitzer is a writer and scholar from a Brooklyn Jewish family. Salehi and Schweitzer use Emily Dickinson's incomparable poems written during the mid-nineteenth century as entry points for their own meditations on still-pressing issues of color, fairness, the police and courts, even the 45th president, and how together we can imagine a different, more equitable world. Though a cloud of darkness pervades Within Flesh , it also contains glimmers of hope and resilience through humor and satire-showing that poetry can transcend time and borders, sparking healing conversations across cultures and generations., Within Flesh is a surprising and inventive conversation between two contemporary poets and Emily Dickinson about the national reckoning on race and injustice provoked by the Black Lives Matter movement. This original three-way communion crosses time, space and cultural boundaries: Al Salehi is a man whose parents immigrated from the Islamic Republic of Iran and lives in California and Ivy Schweitzer is a Brooklyn Jew with roots in Eastern Europe who lives in Vermont. Yet despite these differences, they establish a profound connection: the contemporary poets interrogating the long-gone poet about being a poet and citizen at a crucial moment of public accountability.Salehi and Schweitzer use Dickinson's incomparable poems as entry points for their own meditations on the historic protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd. Many of her poems grapple with moral questions and emotions evoked by the Civil War in startling imagery that seems uncannily relevant to contemporary issues: Death's large democratic fingers, color and caste, God's ambivalence or absence, staggering loss, pain so utter, overwhelming love. These poems take on new meaning when viewed through this contemporary lens.The collection begins by delving into the history of enslavement and its residual impact on US society. It then explores the hypocrisy of the law, the police and politicians, even the 45th President of the United States. Finally, it addresses the need to take action and dream of a renovated world. Throughout, the poets challenge themselves to absorb and refract each other's and Dickinson's ideas, imagery and formal structures.

    Another wonderful transaction with this company! I believe this is my 3rd purchase with multiple books in each order and I’ve yet to be disappointed. Books arrived as described - great used condition. Packaging wasn’t great but it’s free shipping and they made it to me intact, so no complaints. The price is unbeatable. Will definitely continue to purchase from them! Highly recommend.

    For some reason, the Postal Tracking stopped after the label was created, but I RECEIVED the book I ordered on August 2nd which was within the 7/31 to 8/6 projected delivery range. The sale price was lower than the competition why I chose this Seller. It was well packed, and arrived in the described condition. I would do business, again, with this Seller without hesitation. Thumbs UP!
