Red Dirt Revival: a poetic memoir in 6 Breaths

by Tim'm T. West

Red Dirt Revival: a poetic memoir in 6 Breaths is a collection that offers personal meditations that speaks to vastly diverse and often unanticipated audiences, naming vital specifics and moving to the poetic universality of pain and redemption. A decade after his brave authorial debut, Tim'm West is still here to honor the dexterity and resilience of a book that has been everywhere from spoken word stages to black gay men's book clubs to feminist classrooms. This expanded edition offers a 7th Breath, speaking to the work's enduring power. As Christina Accomando writes in the new introduction, "Red Dirt Revival, not surprisingly, is both a classic text and a living, breathing work of art, communication and community."

Excellent introspective, crafted like music and flows as such. Deep, articulate, and steeped in truth, honesty, conviction and humility! Loved it - good read for anyone, no matter what life cycle you're in.
