She contributes poetry remarkable for its pairing of incisive commentary and commitment to individual experience. Rankine, whose chapbook Slow Dance with Trip Wire was selected by Cornelius Eady for the Poetry Society of America’s 2010 New York Chapbook Fellowship, joins an urgent conversation happening across genres, art forms, and public life. Rankine’s spare, focused poems probe the wounds of personal and collective consciousness, wounds inflicted by institutional racism, climate change, terrorism, debt-macro- and micro-aggressions encountered unceasingly. Incorrect Merciful Impulses, Camille Rankine’s first full-length poetry collection, grapples with the pressures of early twenty-first-century American life as played out in the lives of individuals.
