Claudia Rankine\u003cbr\u003eJericho Brown follows the success of his prize-winning \u003ci\u003eThe New Testament\u003c\/i\u003e with a fearless and daring new collection. \u003ci\u003eThe Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e examines the normalization of evil and of its history, from a perspective at once political and individual, societal and intimate. The questions Brown poses go directly to the heart of our most human concerns: What is safety? Where does freedom truly lie? Poems about fatherhood, blackness, queerness, legacy, trauma are all realized with a masterful clarity, and his invention of the 'duplex' - a blend of the sonnet, the ghazal, and the blues - bears witness to a rare and formidable formal skill. \u003ci\u003eThe Tradition \u003c\/i\u003eis a timely, necessary book from a poet recognized as one of the most vital and incisive at work today.\u003cbr\u003e'His lyrics are memorable, muscular, majestic . . . Brown's poems are living on the page.' Ilya Kaminsky, author of \u003ci\u003eDeaf Republic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'One of the most luminous and courageous voices I have read in a long, long time.' US Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith, author of \u003ci\u003eWade in the Water\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Exquisite, incisive, as full of the spirit as the soil, the breath and the body, \u003ci\u003eThe Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e is today's essential poetry.'
