Summary:
The Malevolent Volume explores the myths and transformations of Black being, on a continuum between
the monstrous and the sublime.
Subverting celebrated classics of poetry and mythology and examining horrors from contemporary film and cultural
fact, National Book Award winner Justin Phillip Reed engages darkness as an aesthetic to conjure the revenant animus
that lurks beneath the exploited civilities of marginalized people. In these poems, Reed finds agency in the otherthan-human identities assigned to those assaulted by savageries of the state. In doing so, he summons a retaliatory,
counterviolent Black spirit to revolt and to inhabit the revolting.
