Beneath my body Armor: An Elegy, is a 2021 book-length series of lyric and percussive poems by American poet David Lawrence Glover. Beneath my body Armor is a collection of observations, revelations, and reflections on black life and love that spans two decades. This debut book of poetry is broken into five sections that range from deeply personal familial accounts, to love songs, raw emotional laments, and direct excerpts from dreams. These poems ring with extraordinary justice--at once melancholic, then monstrous, vulnerable, exposing, and at last like a wound; healing--in a collective portrait of a child once neglected, now a man finding safety and sanctuary within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Glover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gatekeeper Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781662921834","brand":"Gatekeeper Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42860071321737,"sku":"9781662921834","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_fc644c7b-24e7-4324-a624-eb34084ab8b1.jpg?v=1722316494","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/beneath-my-body-armor-an-elegy-9781662921834","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
