Description: From a 2021 Whiting Award and Guggenheim Fellow recipient a rhapsodic rigorous poetry collection which pays homage to everyday Black experience in the U. S. (The New Yorker) Gregory Pardlo described Joshua Bennett's first collection of poetry The Sobbing School as an "arresting debut" that was "abounding in tenderness and rich with character " with a "virtuosic kind of code switching." Bennett's new collection Owed is a book with celebration at its center. Its primary concern is how we might mend the relationship between ourselves and the people spaces and objects we have been taught to think of as insignificant as fundamentally unworthy of study reflection attention or care. Spanning the spectrum of genre and form - - from elegy and ode to origin myth - - these poems elaborate an aesthetics of repair. What's more they ask that we turn to the songs and sites of the historically denigrated so that we might uncover a new way of being in the world together one wherein we can truthfully reckon with the brutality of the past and thus imagine the possibilities of our shared unpredictable present anew.
