Durell Carter's Views From the Red-Light Aquarium is a heartfelt culmination of Black audacity, a full-circle come-to-Jesus-moment that asks us to sit down, suck on a piece of purse candy, and examine America as it Americas us. Carter deftly calls upon the wisdom of yesterday and sage voices from his present, including Kendrick Lamar, to help him meet the daily challenge to be the last one standing in a place that has us running on pebbles and slipping on yesterdays in this ode to black selfhood. The poems in Views From the Red-Light Aquarium remember everything; a well-deserved hallelujah, indeed.
