Major JacksonHoopsPoemsLush meditations by a poet whose previous book, Leaving Saturn, was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist.
IN HOOPS, Major Jackson continues to mine the
solemn marvels of ordinary lives: a grandfather gardens
in a tenement backyard; a teacher unconsciously
renames her black students after French painters. The
substance of Jackson's art is the representation of
American citizens whose heroic endurance makes
them remarkable and transcendent.
MAJOR JACKSON lives in South Burlington, Vermont, and teaches English at the University of Vermont. |
