Much of what I read is not "new"—ditto for music, so here are the things still rattling around in my head...
books:
Noah Eli Gordon, The Source
Eleni Stecopoulos, Armies of Compassion
Lorenzo Thomas, Don't Deny My Name
M. NourbeSe Phillip, Zong!
Kazim Ali, Bright Felon
zine:
sous les paves
and the retro music of The Carolina Chocolate Drops, the neo-Motown of Nikki Jean, and the stark pop of Eliza Rickman
Next year: looking forward to reading your book (!) and new work from Evie Shockley, Thom Donovan, Judith Goldman and Rob Halpern.
Great list--!
ReplyDeleteJust got yr c.c. for the holiday. Excited. So, add that to the list!
Solidarity,
