Outer Pradesh

Poetry. African & African American Studies. Drawing inspiration and language from such spiritual traditions as Hinduism, Gnosticism, and the Dogon of Mali, OUTER PRADESH is a brand new collection of poetry from American poet Nathaniel Mackey. These five poems sing the sacred and profane, blurring their definitions in moments of self-reflection and altered states of consciousness as the narrator and a revolving cast of characters travel, searching.
