Description

Curtis L. Crisler's Doing Drive-bys on How to Find Love in the Midwest is a lyrical poetic topography embodying his "urban Midwestern sensibility" (uMs). Through his uMs lens, his poems transfigure and chronicle the humanity of the past, present, and future of Black Midwesterners (and all globe-stompers)-transforming our dead and living into one sacrosanct body that traverses this earth with our surreal and haggard breaths.
