Solid from start to finish, possessing amazing energy and focus, a bold new voice in poetry has announced itself”Publishers Weekly, Starred ReviewJones had a meteoric rise to literary prominence in the past year. . . . the poems of this book are harrowing and heartbreaking, treating family, sexuality, and race with unrelenting intensity.”Publishers WeeklyA debut poetry collection examining identity in all its formsracial, sexual, geographical, and morewith both incisive intensity and tenderness.Off the Shelf'Jones’s lavish sonic patterning and gothic imagery often recall the incendiary mythos and immaculate craft of Sylvia Plath’s Ariel as well as the haunted, sensual longing of Thomas James’s Letters to a Stranger.' Kenyon Review Online'[T]he way these poems address violence, life in the south, race, sexuality and relationships makes for an engrossing read best consumed in as few sittings as possible.'TimeThis book leaves your body transformed in a way that poetry should.' ElevenEleven'This is indeed a book seamed in smoke; it is a dance that invites you to admire the supple twist of its narrative spine; it is hard and glaring and brilliant as the anthracite that opens the collection: 'a voice mistook for stone, / jagged black fist.'' NPR Book ReviewThe features that distinguish his poems from prose brevity, symbolism, implication let him investigate the almost unsayable.”Los Angeles Times'This year's Stonewall-Gittings literature award goes to Saeed Jones's Prelude to Bruise (Coffee House), a punch-in-your-gut fusion of racial, sexual, and personal struggle and a National Book Critics Circle finalist.'Library JournalPerhaps the readiest, most painfully assured debut of the decade.”Flavorwire'The poems in Prelude to Bruise enflame, with all flame's consequences of wounding and illumination . . .

Rain TaxiThis book is so good it will give you night sweats.'Greenlight Bookstore'An astonishing poetry collection, furious, tender, and true.' Tin HousePrelude to Bruise is a harrowing examination of masculinity and femininity as a brutal” performance.”BuzzfeedJones’ sentences bristle with foreboding . . . Jones seems to be playing with the idea of the nature of man, of those who live closer in tune with the laws of nature than with those of humanityJones, like great poet-novelists, fills his book with beautiful sentences.”Electric LiteraturePrelude to Bruise is an airtight collection of visceral and stunning poems.”Mosaic Magazine'Prelude to Bruise by Saeed Jones, a tome of searing poetry about what it means to be Black, gay, Southern and so much more'Refinery 29'Prelude to Bruise Saeed Jones is a powerful collection . . . with a high level of craft, emotion and metaphor.'Ebony'Reading this book will change you.'Cambridge Writers' WorkshopSaeed Jones's first full-length book, Prelude to Bruise, is a necessary piece of contemporary poetry that bravely tackles issues such as abuse, promiscuity, homosexuality, and racism.”Prairie Schooner'Jones uncovers what exactly is at stake when one presents oneself authentically, when one insists on being oneself regardless of the consequences.'ColdfrontPrelude to Bruise was published by Coffee House in August to widespread (and deserved!) acclaim.”Electric Literature'It packs a wallop . . . I found myself in awe.'Raging Biblio-holismI didn’t exactly mean to survive myself,” writes the African-American poet Saeed Jones, and the line comes to my mind: what it means to have survived official policies designed to erase you, and the kind of impulse to self-destruction that might arise in the face of this.'The Monthly(Australia)His work is imaginative and lyrical while maintaining a self-proclaimed ferocity, as if there could really be any other kind, that challenges conventions of masculinity and race in a deeply emotional way.” Dazed, The top ten American writers you need to read this year”Maybe the best collection you will read this year, Jones is a poet who also understands how to tell a story, obviously keeping his feet planted in the former since poetry is his craft, but giving the reader so much more to unpack page after page. At times harrowing, Jones succeeds at never straying too far away from beauty and light, and that balance makes this a true reading experience.”Jason Diamond, Vol. 1 Brooklyn September Books ReviewSaeed Jones may be one of the most necessary poets of our time.” July Westhale, Lambda Literary'Prelude to Bruise is a book with a controlled realm of imagery, which creates this really beautiful territory for the reader to explore.”Ace HotelBeautiful, haunting and heartbreakingJones’s poems are an emotional punch to the gut. A lyrical shock to the system.” Lambda LiteraryIt's a diverse festival, showcasing talents as different as the best-selling crime novelist Rebecca Chance and the politically engaged poet Saeed Jones.”The Times Picayune[Saeed Jones] is leading the way and writing critically about the community,” [Spectrum’s president] Diaz said.”The Torch'What these poems show us is the necessity of owning that longing, the refusal to let the wounds the world has laid upon us turn inward, into our shame, our silence. To show the world the face that the world has made.'Muzzle Magazine'Saeed Jones brought the audience to a near swoon.'Twin Cities Daily PlanetPrelude to Bruise is an airtight collection of visceral and stunning poems.”Mosaic Magazine'I was bowled over by Saeed Jones’s Prelude to Bruise (Coffee House Press, £16), a beautiful and biting collection of poetry that has been making waves in the US.
