Tim'm T. West has been hailed by James Early Hardy for "merging the floetry of Jay-Z and Nikki Giovanni" and by Jan Clausen for "[carrying] forward Audre Lorde's practice of poetry as the 'light by which we scrutinize our lives.'" Now an underground classic, "Red Dirt Revival "introduced stunning talent in the tradition of poet-truthtellers such as Audre Lorde, Cherrie Moraga, and Adrienne Rich, and helped build Tim'm T. West's loyal fan base among music lovers, academics, poets, activists, and anyone who has experienced alienation even in the place they call home. A Gen-X remix of "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," it tells the story of a burgeoning artist growing up poor, black, and queer in the rural south, and coming of age in the halls of feminist academe and the world of underground hip hop. In a voice that trembles with both vulnerability and swagger, West's sharply observed memoir is charged with love, anger, eroticism, betrayal, forgiveness, and more love still, and demands that we radically expand our notions of what critical theory and liberation might look like. Like fragments from a radical notebook or a broken heart that refuses to stop beating, "Red Dirt Revival "disinters--from "commonsense" understandings of how men are made from boys--the senseless violence that patriarchal visions of gender, race, sexuality, family, and the world requires. Now in an expanded, critical tenth-anniversary edition, this important contribution to feminist thought reads like a working artist's lyric journal, all while bearing the terror, grace, and radical imagination of an entire generation. Tim'm T. West is a nationally recognized writer, emcee, poet, educator, and POZ activist. Co-founder of the acclaimed hip hop group Deep Dickollective, which helped launch the homo hop movement, West is the author of three books and has released three solo albums.
