Cortney Lamar Charleston is widely recognized and lauded as a poet, and this second collection comes highly anticipated. Charleston' s poems have appeared in a range of publications, including POETRY, The American Poetry Review, New England Review, Granta and The Nation. A Pushcart Prize-winning poet, Charleston has received a Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Fellowship from the Poetry Foundation as well as fellowships from Cave Canem, The Conversation Literary Festival and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. His debut full-length poetry collection, Telepathologies, was selected by D. A. Powell for the 2016 Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize. Charleston is currently poetry editor at The Rumpus, and is a tremendous advocate for contemporary poetry, including through social media (@bardsbesidebars). Doppelgangbanger is part of the BreakBeat Poets series, a dynamic and growing series that includes Jose Olivarez' s PEN/Jean Stein Award finalist Citizen Illegal, Camonghne Felix' s National Book Award long listed Build Yourself A Boat, Kevin Coval' s A People' s History of Chicago, and many others.
With stunning knowledge and sharp vulnerability, Cortney Lamar Charleston has rendered a classical epic of love, war, and self-discovery, in the tradition of Milton, Homer, and Virgil if they were Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. -Morgan Parker, author of Magical Negro"Cortney Lamar Charleston burns his signature into these stanzas. With an unrelenting intimacy, he dares us into a narrative we think we know-Black boy vs. the scheming wiles of the city vs. the rest of his life-then backhand slaps us toward a singular experience marked by choices that can only guide the life of one man. "-Patricia Smith, author of Incendiary Art"Cortney Lamar Charleston is one of our most necessary observers of Black boyhood in all its beauty and difficulty. These poems sing to us of us. "-Nate Marshall, author of Finna

His poetry is a marriage between art and activism, and a call for a more involved and empathetic understanding of the diversity of the human experience.
