| Summary: | Following the traditions of Eve L. Ewing, Rio Cortez and Douglas Kearney, Jason B. Crawford's YEET! envisions the Black community lifted off the earth and set free towards the stars. These poems ask what a free Black people would look like and how we might achieve such a thing. This collection presents a new take on Afrofuturism and utopianism. Rather than looking to a future of technological change, it steps years ahead to show how people are happier once they are no longer owned. These poems speak to racism, gun violence, colonization, global warming, flight, joy, friendship and noise. This is a book about creating new worlds without the systems of supremacy that held down the old one. |
