Rendered in direct language and through clear eyes, this book, as its title indicates, is concerned with tensions of agency, creation, and destruction-- upward and downward motion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"After the 1940 publication of \u003ci\u003eNative Son\u003c\/i\u003e, Richard Wright shared some of his stylistic goals in the novel. 'I wanted the reader to feel that Bigger's story was happening now, ' he writes, 'like a play upon the stage or a movie unfolding upon the screen. Action follows action, as in a prize fight.' Kelan Nee's poetry delivers the immediacy and punch that Wright demanded of literature. Nee has the head for poetry, the heart for poetry, and above all, the guts. This debut collection holds back nothing and leaves me reeling with high hopes for Nee's future in the craft.\"--Gregory Fraser, judge and author of \u003ci\u003eDesigned for Flight \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAnswering the Ruins \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e KELAN NEE is a poet and carpenter from Massachusetts.
