"At age 17, Plato disclosed that he had been certain his whole life that he would die-most likely by being shot on the street like other Black young men he knew-by the age of 18. As his 18th birthday approached, Plato planned to spend his birthday alone, reflecting on the reality that he might have a future. As he approached adulthood and the transition out of foster care, the many possibilities seemed miraculous to him"--

Explores expressionlessness, inscrutability, and emotional withholding in Black cultural production Arguing that inexpression is a gesture that acquires distinctive meanings in concert with blackness, Deadpan tracks instances and meanings of deadpan—a vaudeville term meaning “dead face”—across literature, theater, visual and performance art, and the performance of self in everyday life. Tina Post reveals that the performance of purposeful withholding is a critical tool in the work of black culture makers, intervening in the persistent framing of African American aesthetics as colorful, loud, humorous, and excessive. Beginning with the expressionless faces of mid-twentieth-century documentary photography and proceeding to early twenty-first-century drama, this project examines performances of blackness’s deadpan aesthetic within and beyond black embodiments, including Young Jean Lee’s The Shipment and Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’s Neighbors, as well as Buster Keaton’s signature character and Steve McQueen’s restitution of the former’s legacy within the continuum of Black cultural production. Through this varied archive, Post reveals how deadpan aesthetics function in and between opacity and fugitivity, minimalism and saturation, excess and insensibility.

This book of poetry is a part of me Latoya S. Madden just a small account of life story. While reading I ask that you not judge me but consider yourself or someone else that may have gone thru or be going something similar and see the point of it all that I was going thru and that I did not give up. No I have not arrived yet but I am still pressing forward on my way towards greater. Although the journey may be long and have its ups and downs I can truly say that I am still blessed and have found an abundance of love in my life. I am rich already because I am surrounded by some many people who love me for who I am and not what I have to give. I thank God for allowing me to see the light while I still have breath in my body and strength in my bones.
