Threat Come Close<\/em><\/h1>\n

Aaron Coleman<\/h2>\n

Longlisted for The Believer Book Award.<\/h5>\n
2019 Society of Midlands Poetry Honoree.<\/h5>\n

In his debut collection, Aaron Coleman writes an American anthem for the 21st century, a full-throated lyric composed of pain, faith, lust and vulnerability. Coleman\u2019s poems comment on and interrogate the meaning of home and identity for a black man in America, past and present. Guided by a belief system comprising an eclectic array of invented saints \u2014 Trigger, Seduction, Doubt and Who \u2014 Coleman\u2019s quest locates new ways of being in the natural world where \u201c[t]he trees teach me how to break and keep on living.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Vestigia” from\u00a0Threat Come Close<\/em>:<\/p>\n

The trees teach me how to break and keep on living. Patience
\nand nuance and another kind of strength. That kind of life
\nwrought from water and mineral iron and loss, the perpetual loss
\nthat emanates from underneath tongues, leaves. The hush splayed
\nacross the jungle made of memory. More fearful for its lack
\nof movement. The sad lusciousness our eyes reason from a world
\non pause. Motionless green. What we touch and see, immediate
\nas steam, then gone, collected. Tense, wet beads full of secrets; how
\nto make a branch long. Nothing swaying the weight of the trees.<\/div>\n
