It's Important I Remember
Poems“This collection has moved me so completely, kept me rapt in wonder at its incisive craft and heady treatises-in-verse. While It’s Important I Remember rails, seethes, and spews its rage in equal doses, it also soothes, goads, and, finally, exhorts.” —L. Lamar Wilson, author of Sacrilegion “This is more than a collection of poetry; these poems are a portal into Cortney Lamar Charleston’s brilliant mind. They challenge orthodoxy, they mine the archives, they expand our imaginations. It’s Important I Remember is magnificent.” —Clint Smith, author of Above Ground: Poems “Cortney Lamar Charleston’s It’s Important I Remember considers American history’s relentless patterns while confronting our existence within its centuries-old design. Ambitious and unflinching, these poems are lessons in curiosity and compassion—'favor[ing] the right answer, not the correct one.’” —Nicole Sealey, author of The Ferguson Report: An Erasure
