One of the most magnetic and esteemed poets in today's literary landscape, Patricia Smith fearlessly confronts the tyranny against the black male body and the tenacious grief of mothers in her compelling new collection, Incendiary Art. She writes an exhaustive lament for mothers of the "dark magicians," and revisits the devastating murder of Emmett Till. These dynamic sequences serve as a backdrop for present-day racial calamities and calls for resistance. Smith embraces elaborate and eloquent language-- "her gorgeous fallen son a horrid hidden / rot. Her tiny hand starts crushing roses--one by one / by one she wrecks the casket's spray. It's how she / mourns--a mother, still, despite the roar of thorns"-- as she sharpens her unerring focus on incidents of national mayhem and mourning. Smith envisions, reenvisions, and ultimately reinvents the role of witness with an incendiary fusion of forms, including prose poems, ghazals, sestinas, and sonnets. With poems impossible to turn away from, one of America's most electrifying writers reveals what is frightening, and what is revelatory, about history.

Measure Carefully
Color: Champagne, Size: 12
Great quality, handsome style with a modern color, and fit. Just be aware if your little guy is smaller in stature the arms may be a bit long. Measure carefully.

Great little boy blazer
Color: Dark Blue, Size: 8, Color: Dark Blue, Size: 8
Too adorable and good quality. My picture doesn't do it justice. A nice dark blue with a subtle pattern. Will go well with many outfits. Fits well and not too snug with a shirt or light sweater underneath.

Long sleeves
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 14
Looks so good on my boy. I bought a little big (size 14 for my 11 year old) and turned the sleeves in a couple inches, which requires moving the buttons, but I think he might get a couple years wear as he is probably about to hit a height growth spurt. It doesn't look cheap - the material is thick enough to drape nicely.

Surprising quality, excellent attention to detail, and satisfying shopping experience
Color: Light Grey, Size: 4
This shopping experience was fantastic. First of all, its quality definitely exceeded its price, and the texture is very good Very thoughtful, great attention to detail, absolutely standard suit!!! What I love the most about it is its fabric. It makes me feel at ease when my child wears it, and it won't be uncomfortable to wear. It's very child friendly I have no doubt about the size, its waistband is adjustable, at least for my son, it fits well
