About this product
Product Information
In Black Swim , Nicholas Goodly casts a spell to transform darkness into perfect darkness. This stunning debut collection is at once "forged from the hurt parts of the ground," and "proof of a miracle," spinning ache and sweat and sweetness into a new model of feeling through language. Black people, queer/trans/nonbinary people, flamboyant people, lonely people, gaudy people, kind people, witches, artists, and angry people will meet themselves and each other in these pages. Amidst death and against injustice, Goodly's poems bear gifts for and from the ancestors--a necklace, a mirror, a form of offered prayer: "If there is a purpose in this life / let me wash my face in it."

Reviews
"When this poetputs on necklaces, drinks, names, dreams, grieves, dances, desires, judges,hopes, lives, dives, the reader is not veering between poles, aware of howskillfully the poet lyrically narrates, how self and strangeness orbit. Thereader is learning for the first time how Goodly wraps himself aroundeverything we can do in this human life and names it, caresses it, disciplinesit, sets it free."-- Brenda Shaughnessy "Nicholas Goodly'spoems are a 'recipe for geranium eyes' that deliver us again and again, 'vulgarand backward,' into the waters of kindness, divine knowledge, and a true andessential American heart." -- Glass: A Journal of Poetry "A library associate at Fulton County Public Library, Jonesboro, GA, Nicholas Goodly explores being Black, queer, and Southern in his expansively embracing Black Swim ."-- Library Journal, "When this poetputs on necklaces, drinks, names, dreams, grieves, dances, desires, judges,hopes, lives, dives, the reader is not veering between poles, aware of howskillfully the poet lyrically narrates, how self and strangeness orbit. Thereader is learning for the first time how Goodly wraps himself aroundeverything we can do in this human life and names it, caresses it, disciplinesit, sets it free."-- Brenda Shaughnessy "Nicholas Goodly'spoems are a 'recipe for geranium eyes' that deliver us again and again, 'vulgarand backward,' into the waters of kindness, divine knowledge, and a true andessential American heart." -- Glass: A Journal of Poetry, "Many-voiced and whole, the debut full-length collection from Goodly is a vibrant, polyphonic inquiry. The poems celebrate and lament, root deeply in the body and soar beyond, articulate injustice and embody joy. 'Siren' declares that 'I refuse/ my sunken name/ and sing to a body/ I want for myself.' An elegy for a lost sister both asks and promises, 'if there is a purpose in this life/ let me wash my face in it.' 'R&B Facts' is proud, mournful, elegiac, and hopeful at once. Again and again, the poems surprise with their multitude of selves and connective tissues, their use of art, language, and body to enliven and to push against worn singular narratives. A 'poem doesn't have to mean anything/ a poem is a fire with no end/ if given another chance in this life/ I'd make peace with getting weaker everyday.' Whether expressed in the talismanic joy of donning all one's necklaces or the sensation that 'we are a waltz crawling content on the floor/ we are a tenor too perfectly in the middle of things/ both hysterical men both staying innocent together,' Goodly's emotional and empathic range is expansive. And, if it isn't already clear, they write lines a reader will repeat like an incantation. . . . A lyrical, nuanced, and inventive debut."-- Library Journal "When this poetputs on necklaces, drinks, names, dreams, grieves, dances, desires, judges,hopes, lives, dives, the reader is not veering between poles, aware of howskillfully the poet lyrically narrates, how self and strangeness orbit.
