Black Epic

“Epic Black is epic. This study uncovers the power of the poetry that is taking up black space and claiming black time in the second half of the twenty-first century. Like Kevin Quashie’s black aliveness, Alexis Pauline Gumbs’ black feminist fugitivity, and Saidiya Hartman’s waywardness, the ‘epicness of Blackness’ creates space for a deeper understanding of radical black imaginations.” - Margo Natalie Crawford, author of Black Post-Blackness: The Black Arts Movement and Twenty-First-Century Aesthetics
