Please join us on Wednesday, September 25th at 8PM as we celebrate the release of the new and expanded fifteenth-anniversary edition of Zong! As told to the author by Setaey Adamu Boateng by m. nourbeSe philip, published by Graywolf Press. m. nourbeSe philip will be joined in conversation by Tonya Foster. Book sales will be managed by Books Are Magic. Zong! is a haunting lifeline between archive and memory, law and poetry. In November 1781, the captain of the slave ship Zong ordered that some 150 Africans be murdered by drowning so that the ship’s owners could collect insurance monies. Relying entirely on the words of the legal decision Gregson v. Gilbert—the only extant public document related to the massacre—Zong! tells the story that cannot be told yet must be told. Equal parts song, moan, shout, oath, ululation, curse, and chant, Zong! excavates the legal text. Memory, history, and law collide and metamorphose into the poetics of the fragment. Through the innovative use of fugal and counterpointed repetition, Zong! becomes an anti-narrative lament that stretches the boundaries of the poetic form, haunting the spaces of forgetting and mourning the forgotten. This fifteenth-anniversary edition features a new preface by the author and new essays by Saidiya Hartman and Katherine McKittrick. Widely regarded as one of the most influential and revered works of twenty-first-century literature, this new edition of Zong! will ensure this staggering work’s enduring legacy.

We were there the day that the tree arrived! Many people crowded around to watch the unveiling. The ice skating ring was also opened to the public.

Chicago The Musical

Classic tracks, too camouflage performances, the band scene is seamless with dancers, and the charm of Broadway musicals is infinite. Be sure to experience it in New York. The stage is not big, the seats are basically not too bad, and you can see the dancers&#39; wonderful moments.

Trip.com The service is very good. It is worth watching, the view is particularly wide, and the photos are more filmed. There is no cable pull under the 24-meter cantilever, 2.7 meter glass is strongly tilted 6.6, and the building has a high gold content. Trip.com buying tickets is more cost-effective than buying tickets on the spot. Especially recommended.
