"Whether waxing philosophical or poetic or recalling the inner monologues of the humanspirit living moment to moment in lifetimes, telling tales of tattling, playing the dozens, ortestifying, recalling lynch ropes or racial memory, Renia White's Casual Conversation is not casual nor conversant in the denouement of passivity, but are rigorously passionateinner monologues--interrogations, perhaps--preoccupied with the human eye, ear, andheart. In her muted Miles-Bearden collaged renderings, White is as bold and brash andconfident and causal as a musician, painter, filmmaker stopping us dead in our tracks(as Ntozake Shange reminds us poems should do like a kiss) at such self-assuredsoliloquies and spirited solos that are 'just gorgeous.' Her stilted syntax stutters leadyou into the poem slant yet makes you 'come through the front door.' In these 'bluerummage,' dialectics you marvel at the mastery as White splits the personal wide openfor the political (church burnings; confederate flag unlatching; mother-daughter remorseand reckoning) to merge and mingle with your 'ear to the root' of her blues: to whatmatters in her bright and shining 'hope room' of a debut." --Tony Medina, author of I Am Alfonso Jones and Death, With Occasional Smiling, "In Casual Conversation White attends to anaxiomatic ground in the pagefield.She teaches me something about the collaborative dreaming that we can be.Iam saying that there is something for us here in the complex Quiets ofthis meditative,sustained, and intimately political work. It is something so vital and sounstoppably generative that I can only think to call it unrest." --AracelisGirmay, from the Foreword, "Whether waxing philosophical or poetic or recalling the inner monologues of the humanspirit living moment to moment in lifetimes, telling tales of tattling, playing the dozens, ortestifying, recalling lynch ropes or racial memory, Renita White's Casual Conversation is not casual nor conversant in the denouement of passivity, but are rigorously passionateinner monologues--interrogations, perhaps--preoccupied with the human eye, ear, andheart.

The way Renia White finds and inhabits space is a stellar pushback against erasure and absence. A timely collection by a timeless poet." --Ishion Hutchinson, author of House of Lords and Commons: Poems, " CasualConversation , true to its title, contains poems of such killingnonchalance both in what they say and in the many unsayables finding spacein-between memorable line after memorable line.
