A stunning account of racism, mob violence, and cultural responsibility as rendered by the poet Martha Collins "" "the victim hanged, though not on a tree, this was not the country, they used a steel archwith electric lights, and later a lamppost, thiswas a modern event, the trees were not involved."--from "Blue Front"Martha Collins's father, as a five-year-old, sold fruit outside the Blue Front Restaurant in Cairo, Illinois, in 1909. What he witnessed there, with 10,000 participants, is shocking.In "Blue Front," Collins describes the brutal lynching of a black man and, as an afterthought, a white man, both of them left to the mercilessness of the spectators. The poems patch together an arresting array of evidence--newspaper articles, census data, legal history, postcards, photographs, and Collins's speculationsabout her father's own experience. The resulting work, part lyric and part narrative, is a bold investigation into hate, mob mentality, culpability, and what it means to be white in a country still haunted by its violently racist history.
