Incendiary Art confronts the tyranny against the black male body
and the tenacious grief of the mothers of murdered African American
men. Dynamic sequences, including a compelling chronicle of the
devastating murder of Emmett Till, serve as a backdrop for
present-day racial calamities and calls for resistance. With
impassioned eloquence and a sharpened focus on incidents of
national mayhem and mourning, Patricia Smith reinvents the role of
witness with an incendiary fusion of forms, including prose poems,
ghazals, sestinas, and sonnets. This phenomenal, visionary book
addresses what is frightening, and what is revelatory, about
history now. Winner of the 2018 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award and
2018 NAACP Image Award, Incendiary Art was a finalist for the 2018
Pulitzer Prize and 2018 Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
