The Sobbing School

Joshua Bennett

"The Sobbing School" is a thought-provoking poetry collection that challenges representations of black history and contemporary black experience. Joshua Bennett's mesmerizing debut examines life and the interiority of individuals who are often overlooked in society. Using figures as diverse as Bobby Brown, Martin Heidegger, and performance artist Henry Box Brown, Bennett showcases a world beyond what we are socialized to see value in and emphasizes the importance of exploring alternative ways of thinking.
