Anagnorisis: Poems

Kyle Dargan

4.9/5 (27940 ratings)

Description:Winner of the 2019 Academy of American Poets Lenore Marshall Poetry PrizeIn Poems , the award-winning poet Kyle Dargan ignites a reckoning. From the depths of his rapidly changing home of Washington, D.C., the poet is both enthralled and provoked, having witnessed-on a digital loop running in the background of Barack Obama's unlikely presidency—the rampant state-sanctioned murder of fellow African Americans. He is pushed toward the same recognition articulated by James Baldwin decades that an African American may never be considered an equal in citizenship or humanity.This recognition—the moment at which a tragic hero realizes the true nature of his own character, condition, or relationship with an antagonistic entity—is what Aristotle called anagnorisis . Not concerned with placatory gratitude nor with coddling the sensibilities of the country's racial majority, Dargan challenges "You, friends- / you peckish for a peek / at my cloistered, incandescent / revelry-were you as earnest / about my frostbite, my burns, / I would have opened / these hands, sated you all."At a time when U.S. politics are heavily invested in the purported vulnerability of working-class and rural white Americans, these poems allow readers to examine themselves and the nation through the eyes of those who have been burned for centuries.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
