From Nate Powell, the National Book Award-winning artist of March,
a collection of graphic nonfiction essays about living in a new era
of necessary protest In this anthology of seven comics essays,
author and graphic novelist Nate Powell addresses living in an era
of what he calls "necessary protest." Save It for Later: Promises,
Protest, and the Urgency of Protest is Powell's reflection on
witnessing the collapse of discourse in real time while drawing the
award-winning trilogy March, written by Congressman John Lewis and
Andrew Aydin, this generation's preeminent historical account of
nonviolent revolution in the civil rights movement. Powell
highlights both the danger of normalized paramilitary presence
symbols in consumer pop culture, and the roles we play individually
as we interact with our communities, families, and society at
large. Each essay tracks Powell's journey from the night of the
election-promising his four-year-old daughter that Trump will never
win, to the reality of the Republican presidency, protesting the
administration's policies, and navigating the complications of
teaching his children how to raise their own voices in a world that
is becoming increasingly dangerous and more and more polarized.
While six of the seven essays are new, unpublished work, Powell has
also included "About Face," a comics essay first published by
Popula Online that swiftly went viral and inspired him to expand
his work on Save It for Later. The seventh and final essay will
contextualize the myriad events of 2020 with the previous four
years-from the COVID-19 pandemic to global protests in the wake of
George Floyd's murder to the 2020 presidential election
itself-highlighting both the consistencies and inversions of widely
shared experiences and observations amidst a massive social
upheaval. As Powell moves between subjective and objective
experiences raising his children-depicted in their childhood
innocence as imaginary anthropomorphic animals-he reveals the
electrifying sense of trust and connection with neighbors and
strangers in protest. He also explores how to equip young people
with tools to best make their own noise as they grow up and help
shape the direction and future of this country.
