Summary
"Experiential poems located in an America that is both cross-racial and transracial. The poems in Ed Pavlic's Let It Be Broke are ignited by sonic memories-from Chaka Khan on the radio to his teenaged daughter singing "Stay" at a local café-that spark a journey into personal and ontological questions. Pavlic's lyric lines are equal parts introspection and inter-spection, a term he coins for the shared rumination that encourages a collective "deep think" about the arbitrary boundaries that perpetuate racial and geographic segregation and the power of words to transcend those differences. In an epiphanic moment, Pavlic recalls a quote shared by a former teacher as "a hammer made of written words," and how he held "onto those words / as if they were steel bars and I was dangling over some bright black deepness.""--, Provided by publisher
