Description: Eloquent intercultural coming-of-age story
Review Quotes:
"Bright Felon will steal your heart and outrage your poetics. Part memoir, part trip book, part literary discourse, there is in it an urgent sense of a life lived in words. The tale is one of both innocence and experience. Rigorous, romantic, experimental, true, and yet mysterious, it is a book for the ages."--Laura Moriarty, author of A Semblance: Selected and New Poems, 1975-2007
"Kazim Ali writes in Bright Felon a prose shaped by the various cities he has lived and loved in. This is a book that is so much more than memoir or autobiography. It is embodied and questioning and it carries through its politics a grace and generosity."--Juliana Spahr, author of Fuck You, Aloha, I Love You
