Brown's poetic concerns are both broad and intimate, and at their very core a distillation of the incredibly human: What is safety? Who is this nation? Where does freedom truly lie? Brown makes mythical pastorals to question the terrors to which we've become accustomed, and to celebrate how we survive. Poems of fatherhood, legacy, blackness, queerness, worship, and trauma are propelled into stunning clarity by Brown's mastery, and his invention of the duplex--a combination of the sonnet, the ghazal, and the blues--is testament to his formal skill. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Tradition\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a cutting and necessary collection, relentless in its quest for survival while reveling in a celebration of contradiction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuthor: Jericho Brown\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrefer Audiobook? \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tidd.ly\/4f0ylMh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eListen Here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINNER OF THE 2020 PULITZER PRIZE FOR POETRY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinalist for the 2019 National Book Award\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"100 Notable Books of the Year,\"\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Book, One Philadelphia Citywide Reading Program Selection, 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"By some literary magic--no, it's precision, and honesty--Brown manages to bestow upon even the most public of subjects the most intimate and personal stakes.\"--Craig Morgan Teicher, \"'I Reject Walls': A 2019 Poetry Preview\" for NPR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A relentless dismantling of identity, a difficult jewel of a poem.\"--Rita Dove, in her introduction to Jericho Brown's \"Dark\" (featured in the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e in January 2019)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Copper Canyon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978563387680,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/4465\/0272\/files\/tradition.jpg?v=1783946560","url":"https:\/\/side-plot.myshopify.com\/products\/the-tradition-consortium","provider":"Side Plot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
