Curtis L. Crisler's Doing Drive-bys on How to Find Love in the Midwest is a lyrical poetic topography embodying his "urban Midwestern sensibility" (uMs). Through his uMs lens, his poems transfigure and chronicle the humanity of the past, present, and future of Black Midwesterners (and all globe-stompers)-transforming our dead and living into one sacrosanct body that traverses this earth with our surreal and haggard breaths.

There's a fine, rumbling power to Crisler's poetry, a daredevil blend of humor and anger that pays homage to the everyday glories and frustrations of the human condition, with all its icy highways, hospitals, and basketball courts. There's an eclectic energy to Black Achilles, too, a stylistic and narrative range that speak to a poet of great wisdom, humility, and grace. -Michael Meyerhofer
