Please visit https://gfbpublishing.org/shop/ols/products/pre-order-all-the-stars-aflame-by-malik-abduh to preorder this forthcoming collection from Get Fresh Books.

In his debut collection, All the Stars Aflame, Malik Abduh relates the brutal legacy of U.S. racial violence, including lynchings, riots, uprisings, & political assassinations, told in the voices of those who experienced these tragedies firsthand. Likewise, Abduh chronicles his own life experiences: sneaking as a young boy to listen to Richard Pryor records, lamenting the gentrification of his old neighborhood, & struggling to build his daughter a doll house. Thus, this volume is a balance between historical record & personal narrative. Rich with vivid imagery, tragic irony, & dark humor, All the Stars Aflame is a timely poetic debut.
