Part mantra, part lamentation, part prayer, this incredible book puts us wholly in the presence of an extraordinary and brave talent, whose voice will linger in your heart and mind long after you read the last word of this book. "—Edwidge Danticat In her debut collection of verse and prose, Moïse moves deftly between memories of growing up as a Haitian immigrant in the suburbs of Boston, to bearing witness to brutality and catastrophe, to intellectual, playful explorations of pop culture enigmas like Michael Jackson and Jean Michel Basquiat. Be it the presence of a skinhead on the subway, a newspaper account of unthinkable atrocity, or the 'noose loosened to necklace' of desire, the cut of Haiti Glass lays bare a world of resistance and survival, mourning and lust, need and process, triumph and prayer. Praise for Lenelle Moïse: "Lenelle Moïse brings fierce passion."—New York Times "Piercing, covering territory both intimate & political...vivid & powerful." —Curve Magazine "See Moïse push stories from her mouth like it might save your life."—The Root 02 With rhythmic poetry and intimate prose, Haiti Glass offers an unflinching look at disaster, desire, and death-defying love. 04 03 72 01 http://www.citylights.com/resources/titles/87286100994920/images/87286100994920L.jpg 07 03 72 01 http://www.citylights.com/resources/titles/87286100994920/images/87286100994920S.jpg http://www.citylights.com/book/?GCOI=87286100994920 City Lights Publishers 01 City Lights Publishers 02 20140401 08 16 oz
