Hoops: Poems

Lush reflections on ordinary lives, displaying â€œformal talents and [Jacksonâ€™s] capacity for expanding the lyric potential of narrativeâ€ (Rain Taxi).
In Hoops, Major Jackson continues to mine the solemn marvels of ordinary lives: a grandfather gardens in a tenement backyard; a teacher unconsciously renames her black students after French painters. The substance of Jackson's art is the representation of American citizens whose heroic endurance makes them remarkable and transcendent.
