Sacred Spells: Collected Works - Assotto Saint

Descriere Sacred Spells: Collected Works - Assotto Saint

\nThe collected life-work of an interdisciplinary writer, performer, and central figure in the Black Gay cultural arts and AIDS movements. \n\n In this timely collection of poetry, plays, fiction, and performance texts, Assotto Saint draws upon music and incantation, his Haitian heritage and a politics of liberation, to weave together a tapestry of literature that celebrates life in the face of death. Influential to contemporary writers such as Essex Hemphill, Marlon Riggs, and Melvin Dixon, Sacred Spells is Saint's crucial legacy-five hundred incandescent pages of painful, lyric writing that exemplifies the visceral, spiritual dimensions of an artistic practice that's integral to Black and trans activist movements in the United States, both historic and present. \n \n\n
