Martha Collins and Tyehimba Jess

Martha Collins’s new book of poems, Admit One: An American Scrapbook, utilizes documentary sources to trace the history of scientific racism in early 20th-century America. “A strikingly original collection that combines brilliant storytelling and compelling commentary,” wrote The Washington Post.

Tyehimba Jess’s Olio is a “21st-century hymnal of black evolutionary poetry, a theatrical melange of miraculous meta-memory,” wrote Nikki Finney. “Inventive, prophetic, wondrous, he writes unflinchingly into the historical clefs of blackface, black sound and human sensibility.”
