  There is a lot one can learn from the matured butterflies among us. You know the ones who survived the perilous larva stage without being eaten alive and completed the metamorphosis bruised but stronger for the experience. There is profound beauty in the potential wisdom and inspiration available from those matured butterflies willing to share the lessons acquired on their journey. Their observations through the lens of experience and their testament to the survivability of the most harrowing of life’s trials should ensure they are never without an audience.

  THE NEW KALISHNIKOVS :: AK-47 - aka Drones 
  This poem is about the new invention in war, of small arms arsenals - The Drone. Coming on the heels of the 
  former mass produced and used small arm the - Kalashnikov rifle. 
  The similarities of the AK and Drones, for widespread use are their cheapness to build relative to their 
  use - cost benefit. Their individual strike and their reliability, and their 
  effectiveness. 
  In all its guises, it represents a new era in remote 'close contact'. 
  The Drone itself being sent from a remote location and controlled at a remote location, 
  but the target being an individual, small group or military vehicle like the Tank. 
  Drones are fast becoming the choice of weapon in the modern age for battlefield contact.

  Mahogany Eve

  An exotic and ambitious collection in which deceptively simple structures are built to carry an impressive weight of interest and reference. – Andrew Motion
  The guardian spirit of this book is a mahogany sculpture called Eve, part of the permanent collection in the Graves Art Gallery in Sheffield. She's looking over her shoulder. Her gaze takes in journeys across the Atlantic, beaches in the Caribbean, a boarding school in Yorkshire, departures and arrivals, home- comings, a grandmother buried in Port of Spain, two brothers on the Orinoco, Hindu gods and goddesses, runaways, castaways, slaves, a cartographer who never leaves his room, mothers and sons, fathers and sons, and a goat pulling a bishop on a sledge…
  Alan Payne's poems are rooted in the Caribbean, evoking a sense of separation and loss, and touch on the contradictions and betrayals of colonialism.
  Shortlisted for the 2025 Derek Walcott Prize

  The 61 poems in White Terror Black Trauma concentrate on some of the most traumatic events in Black history from colonial to contemporary times, from the arrival of enslaved Africans in 1619 to Black revolts, Civil War atrocities, incalculable lynchings, the Tulsa massacre, the brave sacrifices of Rosa Parks, the Freedom Riders, the heroes of school desegregation, the murders of Emmet Till, Dr. King, Fred Hampton, Malcolm X, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Breanna Taylor, Eric Garner, and Tyre Nichols. And so many other Black tragedies.  
   
   
  Each poem here carries a brief head note identifying the person, place, time, or event that addresses the historical context of the poem. Some poems are written in a his/her recollection of the historical event. Above all, each poem highlights the topography of Black trauma, be that a Civil War fort, a lynching tree, a prison, a school, an island, a ghetto, a river, a national monument, a church, or city street. These resistance poems are chronicles, laments, petitions, heroic recollections about racial attacks on Black people in America.
