The New Testament by Jericho Brown

4.0

Interesting juxtaposition of the author's life with the New Testament. Moving and beautiful prose. I know that I would have enjoyed it much more if I new anything about the New Testament (thanks godless New England upbringing). Jericho Brown is a talented poet whose phrasing and subject matter, abstract at times, deliver moving thoughts on the black experience in America. This work features some brilliant poems on queerness and blackness too.
