A modern tome of poetry, that seeks to explore nearly every facet of the form. 'Peregrinations' is a treasure of verse, and now available for the convenience of an e-reader, but accompanied by an audiobook version, which takes a selection of the book, that takes a selection of 13 of the poems from the collection.
'Peregrinations' reads almost like a short story collection where we may wander from one world to another and find reflections of the people we know and are.
Included is an introduction both written and read by the poet, as well as free bonus selections including a live reading.
"Ahvid Harris is intentionally abstract in his poetic offerings, using his own poetic development freely while excavating the intersections of personal, social, and cultural history. This writer believes in life as the source of his poems and not the other way around."
Jaki Shelton Green, North Carolina Poet Laureate
In Peregrinations, Ahvid Harris delivers exactly what is promised by the title, a journey, “far reaching meanderings,” that subvert the expectations of language and book-making in delightful ways. There is a sense that as readers, we are guided by a benevolent benefactor, a sentient verse, whose intent is to “propel [us] to when we were a vigorous society.”
Junious Ward , Charlotte’s Poet Laureate, National Slam Champion (2018) and author of 'Composition'
