Mutiny
Mutiny: a rebellion, a subversion, an onslaught. In these poems, Phillip B. Williams rebukes classical mythos and Western canonical figures while embracing Afro-Diasporic folk and spiritual imagery. He conjures the hell of being erased, exploited, and ill-imagined, and through a powerful and generous vision, propels himself into life, selfhood, and a path forward. Intimate, bold, and sonically mesmerizing, Mutiny addresses loneliness, desire, doubt, memory, and the border between beauty and tragedy. With a ferocity that belies the tenderness and vulnerability at the heart of this remarkable collection, Williams honors the transformative power of anger and the clarity that comes from allowing that anger to burn clean.
