Pitch Dark Anarchy: Poems

English

By (author): Randall Horton

Pitch Dark Anarchy investigates the danger of one single narrative with multilayered poems that challenge concepts of beauty and image, race and identity, as well as the construction of skin colour. Through African American memory and moments in literature, the poems seek to disrupt and dismantle foundations that create erasures and echoes of the unremembered. Pitch Dark Anarchy uses the slave revolt of the Amistad as a starting point, a metaphor for opposition and against. These themes run through the very core for the book while drawing on inventive and playful language. The poems bring to life human experiences and conditions created by an elite society. In these poems, locations and landscapes are always shifting, proving that our shared experiences can be interchangeable. At the very core of Pitch Dark Anarchy is a seven-part poem based on the artist Margret Bowlands Another Thorny Crown Series, which are paintings of an African American girl in white face. See more
