Books by Kyle Dargan

Attempting to stitch a quilt of language for the new millennium, Kyle Dargan finds himself in his third collection propelled forward by a melange of voices - individuals passed on the street, journalists, philosophers, movie and cartoon characters, hip-hop emcees, and fellow poets - all of which build to a self-diagnosed logorrhea dementia.

Kyle Dargan's debut collection of poetry, ""The Listening"" searches through the cluttered surface of contemporary life to tune into the elemental sounds within the marrow of living/life.

In this his fourth collection, award-winning poet Kyle Dargan examines the mechanics of the heart and mind as they are weathered by loss. Following a spate of deaths among family and friends, Dargan chooses to present not colour-negative elegies but self-portraits that capture what of these departed figures remains within him.

A collection of poetry which reflects author's many passions as a poet, his deep engagement with what it means to work in the African American literary tradition, and his lively voice, infused with hip-hop sensibility and idiom. It examines an America increasingly stifled by dogmas and inept social categories.
