Editors' Selection from the Frost Place Chapbook Competition. Christian J. Collier's poems of witness have the kind of keen insight that slices to the heart of the subject. THE GLEAMING OF THE BLADE examines Black masculinity in the contemporary American South, alongside the lingering ghosts of the past, and how it feels to be Black in a country whose divisions and struggles could signal the end of civilization. These poems never shy away, interrogating harsh injustices and contending with the truth of today's America, a truth sometimes beautiful, sometimes biting. "'What did not kill me, / I now belong to' writes Christian J. Collier in THE GLEAMING OF THE BLADE, and there are perhaps no better words for describing what it means to survive the South as Black and male, fetishized and rejected, loathed and loved. These poems describe coming of age in towns owned by racist fathers, policemen whose undischarged guns haunt one's waking dreams, and women who make promises to their Black lovers that white privilege won't let them keep. There is pain here, but also hope. There are ugly truths to be looked squarely in the 'blue brooks' of the eyes, but also beauty. And there are people who never make it out alive, who die by the hands of supremacy, white rage, and the police state, but there is also the voice of a poet, rising above the din of it all with a song."--Destiny O. Birdsong "These poems are haunted by vanished gods, broken relationships, and the bodies of too many lives taken too soon, buried in Christian J. Collier's brain. Family names take the form of bloody creeks. Lies are told to save a lover. Yet there is so much life here as well. The dubious privilege of living through it all is to be able to talk about it on the other side, and this collection of poems does so beautifully."--Bao Phi

The nomadic race of Ribillions were dying slowly - it was very clear. They had battled constantly, webs of alliances shifting as a result of a divided society as they struggled to survive their harsh existence. Farid-Saal dreamt of uniting his people into one nation and had spent many years trying to rally support for a war which would symbolize courage and hope for his people and end a bitterness that has lasted decades. A child who is hunted in the desolate mountains of the Drylands for his Royal blood would be the catalyst for the war. But the King's nephew is not alone. He travels with his mixed-blood friend and five other children. They are hunted through the mountains, driven to the summit where they await their fate. Their only hope, two fathers. One a grizzled sword master, full of anger and hatred for the Ribillions and the other a man a former warrior persecuted by his past and haunted by responsibility. But he is no ordinary man, for he is Balik, the Sword of Krillia.
