SUMMARY:Moonstone Gold @ Fergie’s Pub Presents Afaa M. Weaver Interviewed by Earnest Hilbert
DESCRIPTION:Tickets $15.00\, Students with ID – $7.50 – available at Square.com \nIn 2014\, Weaver completed his Plum Flower Trilogy with the publication of his 14th collection of poetry\, City of Eternal Spring. A Los Angeles Times review of the trilogy echoed previous critical evaluations of his oeuvre to date: “Compared to Whitman by the poet Michael Harper and critic Arnold Rampersad\, Weaver brings in new voices and experiences to American poetry\, and like Whitman he sings and celebrates himself. … poems written in the black vernacular … with their short\, crisp lines\, and with great attention to detail and with great compassion\, take us to inner city Baltimore\, to his mother’s kitchen and his grandmother’s bedside\, to the basketball court\, the factory\, and the front stoop to show the different experiences\, voices\, histories that are part of his own unique development.” \nIn Spirit Boxing ($15.95\, Pitt Poetry Series)\, Weaver revisits his working class core. The veteran of fifteen years as a factory worker in his native Baltimore\, he mines his own experience to build a wellspring of craft in poems that extend from his life to the lives that inhabit the whole landscape of the American working class. He writes with an intimacy that is unique in American poetry\, and echoes previous comparisons of his oeuvre to that of Walt Whitman. The singularity of his voice resonates here through the prism of his realization of self through a lifelong project of the integration of American and Chinese culture. The work is Daoist in influence and structure as it echoes both a harmonic realization of context and the intuitive and transcendent dance of body\, mind\, and spirit. Books will be available for purchase and to be autographed.
