A collection that builds through itself a context for both grief and joy, exceptional and sometimes difficult. As a conversation with history and the present, it takes full attention. Teeth was easier for me to connect to by individual poem, but part II of this work as a witnessing kind of knocked the wind out of me and deserves further thought. ( ) Graceful…. Englightening….Profound These are the words that came to mind when I finished this dazzling poetry collection whose poems which at times were intimately personal and other times outraged at injustices in the world. I was immersed in this collection as these poems whispered in my ear, touched my heart, and soothed my spirit. Words like these had me reflecting on the deeper meaning of the written thoughts: “if there were angels, they would be flies who hover over our privacies, kissing us with their mouths that have kissed other wounds.” sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Taking its name from the moon's dark plains, misidentified as seas by early astronomers, The Black Maria investigates African diasporic histories, the consequences of racism within American culture, and the question of human identity. Central to this project is a desire to recognize the lives of Eritrean refugees who have been made invisible by years of immigration crisis, refugee status, exile, and resulting statelessness. The recipient of a 2015 Whiting Award for Poetry, Girmay's newest collection elegizes and celebrates life, while wrestling with the humanistic notion of seeing beyond: seeing violence, seeing grace, and seeing each other better."to the sea"great storage house, history on which we rode, we touched the brief pulse of your fluttering pages, spelled with salt & life, your rage, your indifference your gentleness washing our feet, all of you going on whether or not we live, to you we bring our carnations yellow & pink, how they float like bright sentences atop your memory's dark hair.
