This Book Has No Title: The Black Book

By Collins I. Aki

In This Book Has No Title: The Black Book, Collins I. Aki presents a collection of verses and comments on color, race, and future. Collaborating with the artwork of Harouna Ou draogo, Aki makes a case for the idiom of black genius as the idiom of future par excellence. Through verses and comments on time, history, thought, love, past works of poetry, reading, myth, and other experiences in a movement of word and line that Aki credits to the experimental idiom of the jazz mystic, Sun Ra, the Black Book offers a metaphor of the future that has always been among us as the "now/here/always/after" that 'we' are. The Black Book is more of a cypher than a journey, going from poetry to prose to "politics," Aki charges the reader to embrace black genius in all of its motion and emotion of world.
