Winner of PEN America Jean Stein Award Through a kind of lyric
research, or lyric meditation, Be Holding connects Dr. J’s
famously impossible move from the 1980 NBA Finals against the Los
Angeles Lakers to pick-up basketball and the flying Igbo and the
Middle Passage, to photography and surveillance and state violence,
to music and personal histories of flight and familial love. Be
Holding wonders how the imagination, or how our looking, might make
us, or bring us, closer to each other. How our looking might make
us reach for each other. And might make us be reaching for each
other. And how that reaching might be something like joy.
