Synopsis

A Poignant And Astonishing Debut, Testify Interrogates Race In America Without Feigning Easy Answers. In These Poems Manuel Crafts Ambivalent Spaces That Seek Steady Reconciliation Between Past And Present, Self And Family, Faith And Skepticism. As Racial Tensions Heighten Across The Country, Testify Offers An Introspective Rather Than Voicing A Movement, Arguing That Individual Experience Is Key To Understanding The Truth Of The Trials At Hand.
