      Poetry. Drama. California Interest. African & African American Studies. Women's Studies. "Parker stayed woke to black suffering, violence against black bodies especially those of black women to the suffering engendered by multiple, egregious oppressions. With THE COMPLETE WORKS OF PAT PARKER, we are allowed an opportunity to historicize Pat Parker's significance to black women's literary traditions, lesbian erotics, to black queer struggles and black feminism, and to global social justice movements. She was in her time. Now, with this important text, she will be in all time to come." Alexis De Veaux "As the Black Lives Matter movement calls attention to the grave risks Black people have always faced and as poets and artists wrestle with the question of how to marry the political and the personal in their work, we have never needed Pat Parker's work more. It is absolutely immediate, searing, salving, saving, and necessary." Kazim Ali "The poetry of Pat Parker reaches out to us anew and shakes our consciousness fiercely." Cheryl Clarke"

      Races, Faces, Places is split into three main sections as described by the title, and travel from the late 1950s to the early 1970s - the heartland of motor racing nostalgia. Races: focuses on Formula 1, but Michael Cooper also covers sports, GT and saloon car racing. Faces: features the author’s portraits of iconic 1960s drivers and is perhaps his best work and illustrates the author’s genius at capturing the moment, an ability to understand the subject or place in an intimate way that transcends technical skills. Places: previously unseen behind-the-scenes material in pit and paddock locations in a way that defines the era.
