Publisher's Synopsis
Derrick Weston Brown's debut collection is a questioning work, a redefining of personal relationships, masculinity, race and history. It's a re-adjustment of bite, humour and perspective as Brown channels the language of hip-hop, Toni Morrison and Snagglepuss to pave the way for an eruption of wisdom. Told through a litany of forms and a myriad of voices - including some of the poet's own - Wisdom Teeth reveals the ongoing internal and external reconstruction of a poet's life and world.
