POET’S NOTE:
We are weighing the scale of a teenager’s mistakes against the gravity of a father’s memory, hoping to get out of jail/free…How does a black boy become an American? How does he learn his role to play? And what if that role, in part, is to stand in his country’s closet, waiting for someone to imagine him as a monster in the dark?
