In More Beautiful Than the Dead, Bellinger crafts bruising and beautiful moments of black life into an intimate and filmic songbook.
Danny Bellinger's long lyric lines create a bright score of memory and music. Drawing from the pressurized socio political atmosphere of the 1960's, with its war and racial violence, these poems have the heft of history at their baseline, but what catches the ear most is Bellinger's complex meditations on beauty, art, survival, grief, and love-all rooted in the tenderness of familial portraits and personal revelations. In this chapbook, the past is not only alive: it is still singing.
--Danielle Cadena Deulen, author of Desire Museum
