Quarto. (24)pp. Zerby's poetry weaves his own haunting lyrics with actual reports of lynchings of Black Americans, beginning with Sam Hose in 1898. Accounts then proceed through the 20th century, charting murders of the 1900s and 1910s as well as some of the more socialized, but no less insidious lynchings,: W. E. B. Du Bois's rejection from the New York City Harvard Club, the 1999 settlement of a suit brought by Black farmers against the federal goverment agencies who refused them aid, and Senator Trent Lott's dismissal of his involvement with the white supremacist Council for Conservative Citizens. Ghostly digital images add to the discomfort the poems deliberately impress upon the reader. An equally poetic and learned address of the violence against Black communities still embedded in American political and social spaces. Bound in burgundy wrappers. Mild bumps to corners, else near fine.
