OUTSIDE OF HONOR
Black MotherVerse & Queer Black BoySpeak
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Al-Tariq Roberson is a griot poet, healer, educator, and spoken word artist whose work reaches across race, gender, sexuality, and metaphysics to articulate difference, love aesthetic, queer sensibility, and the robustness of black-voice. As an educator, Roberson’s work is infused with pedagogical underpinnings. As a healer, his work reaches for the lost human in us all.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Outside of Honor: Black Motherverse & Queer Black Boyspeak, explores the complexity of black family silence; the things we don’t say that speak for themselves in time. It is a stitching of stories across the generations of his family, in pursuit of healing and wholeness in the constructed, and sometimes fatally flawed idea of what black family is(?).
