In her review, poet Holly\u202f Karapetkova \u202fwrites, \u201c\u2018Cruising Weather Wind Blue\u2019 confronts us with a combination of hard realism and musical lyricism, painting unforgettable images in unforgettable language. This is American poetry at its finest: as spacious as Walt Whitman, as frank as the Beat Poets, and as alive with witness as the poetry of the Black Arts Movement. Braggs is a master storyteller, bringing a wide range of characters and social circumstances to life on the page.\u201d\u202f <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bookshelf features new works written or edited by or about alumni and other members of the UTC community.…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1180,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[101009,115750],"tags":[],"coauthors":[100987],"class_list":{"0":"post-1609","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bookshelf","8":"category-spring-2021-edition","9":"cs-entry","10":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\nBookshelf -
