Boldface Résumé

Boldface Nasser Hussain

The book is organized into three sections: Buy and Sell and Give and Take, Rhythms, and Trivial Pursuits. The first section is marked out by a thematic concentration on the intersections between matters of identity and issues of work and labour in contemporary society. Rhythms is devoted to sonic qualities and is explicitly influenced by the character and content of a number of contemporary American spoken word practitioners like Saul Williams, Sonia Sanchez and Amiri Baraka. The final section is more conceptual and carries the 'play' of language to a logical extreme. Trivial Pursuits has a structural and organizational restriction based on the popular board game of the same name with poems based on the text of six randomly selected Trivial Pursuit cards. Ultimately, BOLDFACE is about fun, play, sound, and work and highlights (as writing in 'boldface' should), that which is most important.

Boldface Avis

"Nasser Hussain's poems mix slam chutzpah, academic smarts and experimental brio with a healthy dash of disbelieving rage." Rob Stanton; "Music to the eyes, Hussain's language takes the stage of the page, giving us noisy poems that call us out to play, think, rethink, and rejoice. You won't sit still." Susan Holbrook
