What Came Before

Literature & Fiction

Negative Capability Press

At Thanksgiving, reunions, and other family celebrations, children are usually relegated to the kids' tables, while adults feast at the "big table." Poets, too, spend a lot of time at the flimsy card tables and wobbly TV trays that often constitute the kids' tables. But at some point, if they are lucky, survival and experience qualify them for the BIG TABLE. Since 2002, the Big Table Poets have literally met at a large table in a bookstore somewhere in the deep south. With this volume, Churn Dash Press welcomes you to their big table.

<p>How can Irene and Charles work together on their fifth grade poetry project? They don't know each other . . . and they're not sure they want to.\nIrene Latham, who is white, and Charles Waters, who is black, use this fictional setup to delve into different experiences of race in a relatable way, exploring such topics as hair, hobbies, and family dinners. Accompanied by artwork from acclaimed illustrators Sean Qualls and Selina Alko, this remarkable collaboration invites readers of all ages to join the dialogue by putting their own words to their experiences.</p>
