Summary:
"
Make
the
World
New
brings together some of the highlights of
Lillian
Allen
's work in a single volume, the first book of her poems to be published in over twenty years. It revisits her well-known verse from the celebrated collections Rhythm an' Hardtimes, Women Do This Everyday, and Psychic Unrest, while also assembling
new
and uncollected poems.
Allen
's
poetry
is both political and creative in its attempts to
make
the
world
new
and in its incisive narration of black life. Her work is intersectional in the most radical ways and highlights the need for gendered, racial, and political change as a process of social transformation. In the current historical movement for Black Lives, protests for racial justice and calls for institutional change, these poems echo with meaningful resonance while also reminding us of the long struggles for change.
Allen
's afterword includes the writer's reflections on her process and poetics and the social and cultural impact of the work."--Publisher.
