This
collection, winner of the 2014 Lexi Rudnitsky Editor's Choice Award, further
establishes Shane McCrae as an indispensible poetic voice. With his
unmistakable cadences, he probes insistently yet big-heartedly into some
paradoxes of belief and righteousness, confronting God from the quagmire of his
upbringing: half-Black and raised by White supremacists.
