be/trouble is, in many respects, a love letter to Los Angeles. Even when the city isn't formally mentioned, it is always in the backdrop, always present, and we are always aware that Los Angeles offers as much danger as it does glamour as much grit as beauty. This is the Los Angeles not shown on television and movies: the everyday minituatea of Black Angeleno life. If you're lucky enough to be a part of it then you know this heritage was handed from one generation to the next. You know that many reservoirs of that heritage are disappearing with little acknowledgment or news. If you are lucky enough to know then you've already had the best catfish, you've been to the best card games, you've seen the low riders glide up Crenshaw Blvd, you've heard the drum circle from Leimert Park. bridgette bianca has written a book that highlights these experiences. The very least we can do is pay attention. This 2nd edition includes a study guide created by the poet to use in working with students of all levels.Author: Bridgette BiancaPublisher: Writ Large PressPublished: 04/29/2024Pages: 134Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.32lbsSize: 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.29dISBN13: 9781945175947ISBN10: 194517594XBISAC Categories:- Biography & Autobiography | Memoirs- Poetry | General- History | North American
