Commando, Paperback / softback Book

Commando Paperback / softback

Part of the BreakBeat Poets series

Paperback / softback

Description

E’mon Lauren’s poems take artifacts, language, and ephemera from life on Chicago’s Southside and Westside to create a manifesto of survival and growth.

These poems from Chicago’s first Youth Poet Laureate grapple with sexism, racism, love, and class with a style that announces Lauren as a poet to watch. Commando is an aesthetic stick up, hallelujahs in a handbag with a handgun.

The first collection from the city's first youth poet laureate is a manifesto for a solider at war.
