| Summary: | This debut collection by Cave Canem fellow Geffrey Davis burrows under the surface of gender, addiction, recovery, clumsy love, bitterness and faith. The tones explored tender, comic, wry, tragic, interrogate male subjectivity and privilege, as they examine their "embarrassed desires" for familial connection, sexual love, compassion and repair. Revising the Storm also speaks to the sons and daughters affected by the drug/crack epidemic of the '80s and addresses issues of masculinity and its importance in family. |
