Adut Loi Akok

Adut Loi Akok is a generational mind who bends the energy of social phenomena into music. The ability to see multiple dimensions of the thread of a thought is extraordinarily pronounced in this poet’s most exciting work. A necessary voice in a time where we suffer both imperialized genocide and, a distant but stubborn second, imperialized boredom of the spirit. Where they beat us and beat our shadows worse. Where centuries and centuries of our creativity have come down to a people’s survival, here is food for a liberated era. Asserting that our piece of the earth is not suspended in de-animated history; that we are not prophets marching to our slaughter. These poems are a return to sacred power from a poet of no material nor temporal limits.
