Overview

A finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in Poetryā€”aĀ collection that examines the myth and history of the prizefighter Jack Johnson
Ā 

The legendary Jack Johnson (1878ā€“1946) was a true American creation. The child of emancipated slaves, he overcame the violent segregationism of Jim Crow, challenging white boxersā€”and white Americaā€”to become the first African-American heavyweight world champion. The Big Smoke, Adrian Matejkaā€™s third work of poetry, follows the fighterā€™s journey from poverty to the most coveted title in sports through the multi-layered voices of Johnson and the white women he brazenly loved. Matejkaā€™s book is part historic reclamation and part interrogation of Johnsonā€™s complicated legacy, one that often misremembers the magnetic man behind the myth.
