Social Studies

Poetry. "When words begin to mumble...they speak secret truths. SOCIAL STUDIES is not about interior space but anterior space; near front and center yet buried under the surface. A place where Tom Waits and Solomon Burke are soul brothers, but where even those conjoined never connect. But there is a commanding grace here, a voice as loud as a trumpet, but as resonant as an insistent whisper"--Marlon James.
