Weaver focuses on one of the central threads in his body of work. His ongoing project of an articulation of self in relation to the external landscape of the community and the world, and the writing of spirit through those revelations of sublimation of self, gives way here to a material focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe racial references are explicit, as are the complexities of life lived as a Black man born in America in the mid-twentieth century. These are poems emanating from an attempt to follow Daoist philosophy for most of his life. Knowledge of other is in relation to knowledge of self, and self is an illusory continuum, a perspective wherein the poet embodies the transcendent arc of Malcolm X's life as credo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470029963500,"sku":"9781636280820","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781636280820-a-fire-in-the-hills.jpg?v=1775207601","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/a-fire-in-the-hills-by-afaa-m-weaver-9781636280820","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
