Not a Lot of Reasons to Sing, But Enough

Description

OF WHAT FUTURE ARE THESE THE WILD, EARLY DAYS?

An exploration of the role that artists play in resisting authoritarianism with a sci-fi twist.

In poetry, dialogue and visual art the book follows two wandering poets as they make their way from village to village, across a prison colony moon full of exiled rebels, robots, and storytellers.

Part post-apocalyptic road journal, part alternate universe history of Hip Hop, and part “Letters to a Young Poet”-style toolkit for emerging poets and aspiring movement-builders, it’s also a one-of-a-kind practitioners’ take on poetry, power, and possibility.
