About Juba Kalamaka
Son of Byford is a meandering mining of meaning from the memory of many middle passages. This collection refracts 1970s shades of Black and blues that give way to hip hop, post-millennium tensions and gdless queer queryings informed by faith, love and hope
About Dazie Grego-Sykes
Poetry. African & African American Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. California Interest. Classroom guide and introduction written by author inside. BLACK FAGGOTRY by Dazié Grego-Sykes is a collection of poetry that loudly and proudly exclaims the intersectional realities of Black and Queer identities. These poems burst forth as raw catalysts toward transformational understanding. At times jarringly uncomfortable as truths often are, Grego-Sykes pulls no punches in consistently offering voice to the mutable nature of the QPOC experience.
