';Chris Abani's poetry resonates with a devastating beauty which cuts through to the heart of human strength.'Pride
Hands Washing Water is Chris Abani's fourth poetry collectiona mischievous book of displacement, exile, ancestry, and subversive humor. The central section, ';Buffalo Women,' is a Civil War correspondence between lovers that plays on our assumptions about war, gender, morality, and politics.
Sweetest Henri,
I know we promised to be honest,
one to the other, but your recent missive,
though welcome as any epistle from you,
filled me with a dread that clung
like dampness to wet wood. I am terrified
for your immortal soul, dear sweet Henri.
This mad war of Lincoln is infecting you
with a sickness too depraved to even address. . .
Abani's writing is ruthless, at times traumatic, and consistently filled with surprising twists and turns.
