Run in Such a Way: Poems
Autor Justin Danzyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 feb 2027
With poems that closely examine familial bonds and heritage, biblical teachings, a shifting understanding of home, and the violence of toxic masculinity, Justin Danzy’s Run in Such a Way sits at the crossroads of religion, race, gender, and more. A collection about pursuit, tracking the narrative of its speaker’s journey toward a deeper understanding of himself and of his community as he moves from child to man, the book wrestles with the way an identity is constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed again throughout one’s life. Playful and sincere in equal measure, Danzy’s command of the line carries us through as we travel with the speaker to the precipice of belief. Danzy’s lyrical voice and fealty to his people pays homage to the world that made him, and considers all that the speaker of this tremendous debut has—both wisely and foolishly—run toward and away from in the search for truth.

You will not surely die
All of Life is Willy Wonka & the ChocolateFactory
Run in such a way that you will obtain it,
Everything is smoke, Solomon says
A rickety door, a back one or side, not stable

Take, for example, my gold Cadillac
She asks where I am going, and I say I am going south
It is invisible, the sun, these days
The blood on the woman looks painted, art class red, too general

Recenzii
“Danzy’s adeptness and precision as a poet glows in this collection. Simultaneously playful and serious, unvarnished and honest, Run in Such a Way is steady, sharp, and finely crafted.” —Matthew Shenoda, author of The Way of the Earth
“‘I hear thunder/more often than it rains. I hear rain/in the voices of my dead and the crowning…’ writes Justin Danzy in Run in Such a Way, and I am thunderstruck by how this daring debut merges wonder and sorrow, merges cities and desires, songs and ghosts. Merging crafts connections, yes, but it can also camouflage: it can blend or even blur in ways that transform what we know, who we are. There are equal parts destruction and creation in this spirited collection—blunt and sublime ways of seeing that look askance at conundrums of masculinity, family, race, class and coming of age in our American mess—poems that look askance at the world, but look alive.” —Aaron Coleman, author of Red Wilderness
