The BreakBeat Poets: New American Poetry in the Age of Hip-Hop | Kevin Coval, Quraysh Lansana, Nate Marshall
post image

I picked up The BreakBeat Poets: New American Poetry in the Age of Hip Hop while visiting Our Daily Nada Saturday night. The cover art caught my eye and the few poems I read after opening it up convinced me to take it home. #haymarketbooks #breakbeatpoets #breakbeatpoetry #bookstagram #poetry

Tamra What a terrific cover! 5y

I had to put this book down last night to sleep, or else I might have finished it in one sitting! I started it at 11:00 pm though, which was poor planning. Now I have a bit of free time at work, since teacher work days are slow, and I can squeeze in some more reading!

Recent news has come up in the book - official death toll of 64 vs. estimate of 4645. #haymarketbooks #puertorico

This is the moment I realized I apparently know nothing about cryptocurrencies. 😅 If you, like me, need to get educated on how digital currency is killing the environment, this article is very accessible and breaks it down well: https://www.wired.com/story/bitcoin-mining-guzzles-energyand-its-carbon-footprin....

Y‘all, I am learning so much from this book already, and reading about Casa Pueblo in Adjuntas and other idealistic, radical approaches to disaster recovery and lasting positive change is giving me goosebumps. These people fighting for renewable resources and democratic resource management in Puerto Rico are everything. #haymarketbooks #puertorico

Ebook $6, paperback $10, available in both English and Spanish, https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1235-the-battle-for-paradise. “Bestselling author and activist Naomi Klein uncovers how the forces of shock politics and disaster capitalism seek to undermine the nation's radical, resilient vision for a ‘just recovery.‘” #haymarketbooks #puertorico

This collection of essays by South African scholars analyzes the comparisons that can be made between apartheid South Africa and Israel/Palestine. The first essay in this collection, by Ishtiyaq Shukri, does a great job shedding light on the lived experience of Palestinians as he saw it during his visit, while throwing in some connections he observed between the Israeli state and the apartheid state in South Africa. #haymarketbooks #palestine ❤️
