Backra Man, the book: âEric Gregory Award winner Jonathan Morleyâs poetry startles with its originality and savage satirical voice. Polyphonic in its mingling of registers and with an omnivorous approach to poetryâs formal heritage, Backra Man confronts the topics of race, class and history in fresh and unexpected ways. Protean and ebullient, this debut ranges confidently from the delightfully and deliberately graceless to the coolly satisfying, taking in some streetwise dialect along the wayâ (Shearsman magazine).
