Bøger af Douglas Manuel

Soundtracked with soul, disco, and funk hits from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, the speaker of Testify returns in Trouble Funk to tell the story of how his parents met and fell in and out of love.

A poignant and astonishing debut, Testify interrogates race in America without feigning easy answers. In these poems Manuel crafts ambivalent spaces that seek steady reconciliation between past and present, self and family, faith and skepticism. As racialtensions heighten across the country, Testify offers an introspective rather than voicing a movement, arguing that individual experience is key to understanding the truth of the trials at hand.
