In his fourth collection, a breakthrough volume, Major Jackson
appropriates the vernacular notion of "rolling deep" to capture the
spirit of aesthetic travel that defines these forceful new poems
and brazenly announces his steady accretion of literary and
artistic influences, both formal and experimental-his "crew". The
confident and radiant poems in Roll Deep address a range of topics,
most prominently human intimacy and war. And like his best work to
date, these poems create new experiences with language owed to
Jackson's willingness to once again seek a rhythmic sound that
expresses the unique realities of the twenty-first century with
humour and understanding. Whether set in Nairobi, Madrid or Greece,
the poems are sensuously evocative and unapologetically with-it, in
their effort to build community across borders of language and
style.
