Hex and Other Poems
by Shane McCrae

Shane McCrae is a writer celebrated for crafting a unique poetics, conversing deeply with canon while speaking in a voice unmistakably his own: postmodern and lyrical, estranged and hyperexact. Oceanic sentences deconstruct themselves on the fly, circling ideas to reach their nuclei. This new pamphlet is a powerful examination of race and where it lives, of American white supremacy, of art’s collective consciousness, tapping into the timeless dialogues between art and mortality, power and personal identity. Hex and Other Poems is a whirlwind and a wake-up call: galvanising the reader, speaking new thought into being.
