505 1  Incendiary -- When black men drown their daughters -- 
       Accidential -- Shotting into the mirror. 
520    "One of the most magnetic and esteemed poets in today's 
       literary landscape, Patricia Smith fearlessly confronts 
       the tyranny against the black male body and the tenacious 
       grief of mothers in her compelling new collection, 
       Incendiary Art. She writes an exhaustive lament for 
       mothers of the "dark magicians," and revisits the 
       devastating murder of Emmett Till. These dynamic sequences
       serve as a backdrop for present-day racial calamities and 
       calls for resistance. Smith embraces elaborate and 
       eloquent language - "her gorgeous fallen son a horrid 
       hidden / rot. Her tiny hand starts crushing roses - one by
       one / by one she wrecks the casket's spray. It's how she /
       mourns - a mother, still, despite the roar of thorns"--As 
       she sharpens her unerring focus on incidents of national 
       mayhem and mourning. Smith envisions, reenvisions, and 
       ultimately reinvents the role of witness with an 
       incendiary fusion of forms, including prose poems, ghazals,
       sestinas, and sonnets. With poems impossible to turn away 
       from, one of America's most electrifying writers reveals 
       what is frightening, and what is revelatory, about 
       history"--Publisher.
