Don't Call Us Dead opens with a heartrending sequence that imagines an afterlife for black men shot by police, a place where suspicion, violence, and grief are forgotten and replaced with the safety, love, and longevity they deserved here on earth. Smith turns then to desire, mortality-the dangers experienced in skin and body and blood-and a diagnosis of HIV positive. "Some of us are killed / in pieces," Smith writes, "some of us all at once." Don't Call Us Dead is an astonishing and ambitious collection, one that confronts, praises, and rebukes America-"Dear White America"-where every day is too often a funeral and not often enough a miracle. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 African American men|vPoetry. 650 0 African American men|xViolence against|vPoetry. 650 0 HIV-positive men|vPoetry. 650 0 Gay men|vPoetry. 650 0 Transgender people|vPoetry. 650 0 Gay erotic poetry. 650 0 Spoken word poetry. 700 1 Smith, Danez. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12623872?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rcb_9781684577378_180.jpeg
