{"product_id":"9781643621944","title":"WATCHNIGHT by Cyree Jarelle Johnson","description":"WINNER OF THE JAMES LAUGHLIN AWARDWINNER OF THE KENNY FRIES DISABLED WRITER LITERARY AWARDIn WATCHNIGHT, we accompany Johnson's unnamed protagonist on a psychedelic quest across myriad forms, places, and times marked by climate crisis, exodus, and Black trans identity-making.   In exhilarating lyric poems and chiseled prose blocks, Cyr?e Jarelle Johnson charts the history of his family alongside the history of Watchnight-a churchy holiday of messianic tarrying-and steps through portals to render the human faces of American internal migration and mass displacement-from countryside to city and back again. Spanning from 1803 to a near-future rife with class tension and racial anxiety, WATCHNIGHT is a study of Black bonds, Black grief, and Black flight.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302570963317,"sku":"9781643621944","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781643621944.jpg?v=1762792884","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781643621944","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
