In astonishing revelations and innovative works of unclouded reflection, Major Jackson continues to portray the valiant struggles and solemn marvels of ordinary lives: a grandfather gardens in a tenement backyard against the blare of urban decay; a teacher unconsciously renames her black students after French painters; two teenagers off from McDonald's are assaulted at gunpoint. Like his literary hero - the poet Gwendolyn Brooks, whom he addresses in the book's central poem, a verse letter of enormous wit and range - the substance of Jackson's art is the representation of American citizens whose heroic endurance makes them remarkable and transcendent. Art is resultantly reduced to its least pretentious, and yet his poems are everywhere flooded with life.
