Black Invention - HOME Black Invention Brutal Imagination by Cornelius Eady, The two sections that make up this work (each could be called a song cycle) confront the same subject: the black man in America. But this is no simplistic political screed. Early's art is too sophisticated for that, combining as it does the subtle with the charged, street idiom with elegant inversions, harsh images with witty asides. As The Kenyon Review wrote of an earlier volume: It's no easy thing for an African-American poet to find language that breaks through sociological and political ... us directly and a fresh with his experience". Eady does so with each new work. The first cycle, which carries the book's title, deals with the vision of the black man in white imagination. Largely narrated by black kidnapper, a figment of Susan Smith's imagination invented to cover up her killing of her sons (a bridging section of poems is wittily told in the voices of such white creations as Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima), the cycle displays all of Eady's range: his inventiveness, his deft and often subversive wit, ...

Not only is it full of fine writing, superb production, and infectious, high-energy jams, it is Prince's ...
