Through a unique blend of poetry, essay, and visual art, Rankine constructs a compelling narrative that brings to the forefront the everyday experiences of racial microaggressions and systemic racism. The book delves into the psychological and emotional toll these encounters have on individuals, particularly on Black Americans. Rankine masterfully uses lyric poetry to convey raw emotions and personal reflections, while incorporating contemporary events, images, and dialogues to provide a broader social and cultural context. The work challenges the reader to confront uncomfortable truths about racial bias and its persistent presence in society, urging for a deeper understanding and a more just reality. It is a vital contribution to discussions on race, art, and the American experience, earning critical acclaim for its innovative form and profound social commentary.","CITIZEN  \nAlso by Claudia Rankine  \nPoetry Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Plot The End of the Alphabet Nothing in Nature Is Private  \nPlay  \nThe Provenance of Beauty: A South Bronx Travelogue  \nCoeditor The Racial Imaginary American Poets in the 21st Century American Women Poets in the 21st Century  \nCITIZEN  \nAn American Lyric  \nClaudia Rankine  \nGraywolf Press  \nCopyright © 2014 by Claudia Rankine  \nPermission acknowledgments appear on pages 163–166.  \nThis publication is made possible, in part, by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund, and through grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wells Fargo Foundation Minnesota.
