Poetry

Turn Me Loose

By Frank X Walker

About this book

Frank X Walker writes about the murder of civil rights organizer Medgar Evers through a sequence of poems in different voices. The shifts in perspective bring readers close to the people living with the event and to the language used to justify or resist racial violence. The poems ask how a public event is remembered inside families and communities.
