We Want Our Bodies Back: Poems
(eBook)
"moore provides a blueprint for how to veer outside of fixed expectations and still remain unflinching in her love for herself." - The Mantle "We Want Our Bodies Back is a lyric encyclopedia, a psalm book, a conflagration of fire and fierce black joy. And jessica Care moore is the 21st Century poet warrior America desperately needs." - Tracy K. Smith, U.S. Poet Laureate "Our plump, perfect, shea-buttered bodies. Our sun-scarred sinewy selves. Our stout tree-trunks, our walls. Our muscled forearms, our thick thighs, our phenomenal asses. Our weary hands. Forever, black women have shouldered the weight of the same world that denies their power and sway. The inimitable jessica Care moore-who has spent her life singing the most forceful notes of our soundtrack-is calling an end to that now. If We Want Our Bodies Back empowers you, it was meant to. If this book frightens you, it should." - Patricia Smith, poet, playwright, author of Incendiary Art "jessica Care moore is my hero. Powerful, beautiful, excellent and unapologetically Black. She is who I want to be when I grow up. Her writing allows us to be seen for who we truly are." - Talib Kweli, rapper, entrepreneur, and activist "There are many times that jessica Care moore's work has made me spend hours figuring out how much of her work would be socially acceptable to steal. I really wish she had put this out while I was writing my last album." - Boots Riley, director, emcee, Sorry to Bother You "Imbued with heartache, anger, celebration, and rejuvenation, the poems in We Want Our Bodies Back reflect the sui generis funktified flyness that jessica Care moore has exemplified as an independent artist, activist, publisher, and curator for nearly a quarter-century. Perhaps the premier resistance writer in America today, moore furnishes luminous poetic signposts for our treacherous journey through the gloomy landscapes of 21st century America." - Tony Bolden, author of Afro-Blue: Improvisations in African American Poetry and Culture "We Want Our Bodies Back is a soaring resistance/upright bass/instrument of war. Here are poems that seek out my pain. A soldier allowed their childhood, a people returned to their Detroit. In a time of cobalt-imperialism, someone is still writing songs about God. Yes, revolution is exhausting, but we make countries; you and I." - Tongo Eisen Martin, author, Heaven is All Goodbyes
