Thank you to Repeater Books and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!

Led by an extraordinary leader himself, Patrick Howell's "Dispatches from the Vanguard" builds on a tradition of oral excellence in the Global International African Arts Movement through a series of interviews, works of art and descriptions of artists including poet extraordinaire Nikki Giovanni, science fiction author Nnedi Okorafor, designer Rich Fresh among others. It's conversational and quite sensational. I greatly enjoyed reading the samples of poetry, pondering the gorgeous works of art and reading. What somewhat limits the book, due to the nature of the pandemic, is that the interviews seem to have been all conducted virtually. This makes the reading somewhat staid instead of the more dynamic and lively version I know the author has the potential to be.
