Poetry collection looking at the African-American/American experience. Kearney uses wordplay, which means there are layers to understand--much of which I didn't. He references music, TV/movies, history, of course other poets, and more. My favorite here was "Eulogy for a Pair of Kicks", which I did understand. The wordplay is fantastic and if the other poems are similar (I suspect they are), this is a strong collection.
