Product Information
"Words carry the dead like henchmen," in Joshua Burton's extraordinary debut volume, Grace Engine . These spare and powerful poems are like pallbearers, like eulogists, like survivors, like battered souls hoping and dreaming for a future that may never be. Grappling head-on with the history of lynchings, mental illness, and the endurance of black bodies and psyches against impossible odds, Burton writes, "I spent so many years being afraid to be black, that now / I am only afraid of silence, / / or the silence that it brings." Burton experiments with spaces, absences, and forms in navigating the tensions between shame and accountability, guilt and forgiveness, to understand how one finds the ability to cope under the worst of conditions. With patience and ferocity, he delves into generational and familial trauma to question whether black strength is inherent to blackness and to build a mechanism to survive and heal. I love all the dead, both at the moment they unwed themselves of shame and before that. --Excerpt from "Grace Engine"

Reviews
"The voice, tone, and themes are soaked with time. There's thorny stuff here, but a lot of grace, too."-- Houston Chronicle, " Grace Engine is able to evoke emotion and feelings for a reader, even if they have never experienced some of the themes Burton writes about. Joshua Burton is not just writing for himself, or one group of people, but for everyone to further their understanding and he does it beautifully."-- Glass Mountain, "Wistful, powerful, and unsparing, the poems in Grace Engine defy neat categorization. . . . A definitive example of poetic technical excellence. The duality Burton employs in showing the seen and unseen, the story behind the photograph so to speak, cannot be commended enough. "-- Salt Hill Journal, "No poet I've worked with in forty years' teaching has wowed me more with his talent & smarts & heart than young Joshua Burton. His first collection, Grace Engine , is destined to be this year's star debut."--Mary Karr, "One of the most compelling books I have read this year. But what does that mean? It means that we are invited to enter the landscape where the speaker's 'been having / a different relationship / with ghosts.' It means that history is a catastrophe but a grandmother can turn 'looking into a language, a season / whittled down to degrees.' It means that the empire corrodes but there is still music which these pages unearth and offer, as a consolation, perhaps, no as evidence: evidence that the soul lives despite the terror of this time. Because Burton knows that 'wind from a mouth can coax the flame into living,' Grace Engine is inconsolable and yet consoling. A very beautiful book."--Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic and Dancing in Odessa, " Grace and engine , spirit and machine, divine benevolence and man-made apparatus, the warmth of prayer and the cold injustice of systematic oppression--Burton's gut-wrenching poems interrogate these half-contradictory intersections as the poet grapples with mental illness, grief, faith, forgiveness, and a history of violence against Black people in the United States. . . . A book that looks long and hard at lynching, suicide, and grief, Grace Engine is no easy read--its subject matter and lyrical density often made me physically tired. But I can't help but feel that the book is ultimately full of hope, and that heart of the book is survival."--Josh Luckenbach, EcoTheo Review
