Nazar Boy: Poems - Hardback

A HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT COLLECTION FROM AN AWARD-WINNING NEW POET: The significance of the Ruth Lilly & Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Fellowship cannot be overstated; Tarik Dobbs, one of five recipients of the award in 2022, and whose work already appears widely in many nationally renowned literary journals, is only at the beginning of what will likely be a long and illustrious poetic career.

FOR READERS OF SOLMAZ SHARIF, DANEZ SMITH, AND FRANNY CHOI: Political poetry and the discourse surrounding it are becoming increasingly popular among leftist and progressive readers. Nazar Boy is a book that will join the ranks of today's most radical writers and thinkers.

BAN THIS BOOK: As tensions increase in the US and abroad regarding race and gender, class, sexuality, borders, and more, and as attempts to ban books by writers outside the Western heteronormative norm continue to rise, works like Nazar Boy become increasingly necessary for present and future readers.
