Crushed & Crowned - Joseph Ross - Bog

Bag om Crushed & Crowned

Crushed & Crowned guides the reader through a "museum of bodies," seeking to "illuminate the darkest corners of our history. From sanitation workers killed in Memphis, to elegies aimed at resurrection, these poems forbid sleeping. Murals of saints guard refugees, statues replace enslavers with confident Black teens, a high school teacher observes the joys and sorrows of his students. These poems also stop us at one of the world's largest refugee camps, inviting us to see LGBTQ refugees and their plight. These poems center the lives of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, considering their places in our history. These poems believe that if we read and live with the right spirit, the "crushed" of our world can end up "crowned."
