One of those is Bill Harris. His poetic lines show us the difference between the prefab writer and the master carpenter. The Black Experience that Harris writes about has been systematized and overly manufactured by movies and television-it's refreshing to get a dose of the real thing from time to time.--Ishmael Reed Distinguished Professor at California College of the Arts and author of Mumbo Jumbo and Conjure (8/7/2018 12:00:00 AM) In tracing the lives and descendants of once-enslaved people on a plantation in mythical Mardalwil County, Alabama, for over more than a century, Bill Harris's lyrical I Got to Keep Moving is an elegiac story of love and violence (in all their many forms) and heartbreak. Original in voice, poetic in tone, it dazzles with narrative power. Harris here proves himself the peer of writers such as Colson Whitehead, Jesmyn Ward, and Richard Flanagan.--Neely Tucker author of Love in the Driest Season and The Ways of the Dead (8/7/2018 12:00:00 AM) Detroit has produced a distinguished roster of men and women of letters.
