LASANA D. KAZEMBE is an Emmy Award-winning poet, educator, and critical Black scholar whose work examines culture, race, history, the arts, and the social context of education. His work explores the rich and sentient ‘lost-found’ sacred epistemologies (i.e., history, expressive forms, imaginaries, folklore, futurities) of Africana peoples and situates them as sites of memory, critical pedagogy, cultural production, and social action. Dr. Kazembe's related interests include history and historiography, the cultural foundations of art and artmaking, intellectual and mass culture, Black radical thought and transnational social movements, the politics of art and art criticism, and the genesis and genealogy of Global Black Arts Movements and the Black Intellectual Tradition.
Poems That Kill is a visual and lyrical meditation on culture, art, politics, and the tensions and possibilities framing everyday life.
