Dont Call Us Dead opens with a heartrending sequence that imagines an afterlife for black men shot by police, a place where suspicion, violence, and grief are forgotten and replaced with the safety, love, and longevity they deserved here on earth. Smith turns then to desire, mortality-the dangers experienced in skin and body and blood-and a diagnosis of HIV positive. Some of us are killed \/ in pieces, Smith writes, some of us all at once. Dont Call Us Dead is an astonishing and ambitious collection, one that confronts, praises, and rebukes America-Dear White America-where every day is too often a funeral and not often enough a miracle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51325873881376,"sku":"NEW1555977855","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91bwL4F6M-L.jpg?v=1773159609","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/dont-call-us-dead-poems-1555977855","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
