Beskrivning
Combining unsettling imagery with inventive form, this powerful collection explores the inner struggle to resist violence.  In Reconstructing Eden, Indigo Moor performs an exorcism of a childhood shaped by the dizzying racism that once drove him to the brink of murder. Using a poetic form that Moor calls jazz triptych—a tercet followed by a nonstandard villanelle, followed by a rhyme royal stanza—the book is a stunning rendering of a Black child moving through life with a smoldering anger emerging within him. Only through an incredibly violent act while deployed in Operation Desert Storm does the author realize the murderous intent in his heart. Through his lyrical poetry, he begins to cleanse himself.

Recensioner i media

This is a deeply American book in the Whitmanesque sense: “This is no book; who touches this, touches a man.” Indigo Moor has rendered his life in these pages with an uncommon thoroughness, a combination of haunting graphics with formally inventive yet demotic poetry that tells of someone who has come through a number of storms and emerged with a complex tale that is unflinching yet tender, clear-headed yet passionate, always alert to miscreant death and stubborn life. As with Whitman, this very much is a book, one whose sheer existence, as it speaks so vividly and acutely of the poet’s life and times, is cause for celebration. Score one for art. This is the real thing.
