Razzle Dazzle: New and Selected Poems 2002-2022 traces the evolution of MAJOR JACKSON’s transformative imagination and fierce music through five acclaimed volumes across two decades of writing. This collection offers a sustained portrait of a poet “bound up in the ecstatic,” whose buoyant lyricism confronts the social and political forces that would demean humanity. In August 2014, Michael Brown – a young, unarmed Black man – was shot to death by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. What followed was a period of protests and turmoil, culminating in an extensive report filed by the Department of Justice detailing biased policing and court practices in the city. Now, award-winning poet NICOLE SEALEY revisits the investigation in Rapò Ferguson: Yon Efasilman, a book that redacts the report, an act of erasure that reimagines the original text as it strips it away. Moderated by ADRIAN MATEJKA, editor for Pwezi Magazin.
