Any Day Now: Toward a Black AestheticA comprehensive and inspiring collection of essays by Larry Neal, a founder of the seminal Black Arts Movement "The Black Arts Movement is radically opposed to any concept of the artist that alienates him from his community. Black Art is the aesthetic and spiritual sister of the Black Power concept. As such, it envisions an art that speaks directly to the needs and aspirations of Black America."

A comprehensive and inspiring collection of essays by Larry Neal, a founder of the seminal Black Arts Movement

"The Black Arts Movement is radically opposed to any concept of the artist that alienates him from his community. Black Art is the aesthetic and spiritual sister of the Black Power concept. As such, it envisions an art that speaks directly to the needs and aspirations of Black America."
--Larry Neal, The Drama Review, 1968

Larry Neal, a poet, dramatist, and critic, was a founding figure of the Black Arts Movement in the 1960s and 1970s in New York. Writing as the arts editor for Liberator magazine, a radical journal published in Harlem, Neal called for Black artists to produce work that was politically oriented, rooted in the Black experience, and written for the Black community. Engaging with fiction, music, drama, and poetry in his texts, he challenged the dominance of the Western art-historical canon and charged Black artists and writers with reshaping artistic traditions according to their own history. As he proclaimed in his essay "The Black Writer's Role," written in 1966, "Black writers must listen to the world with their whole selves--their entire bodies. Must make literature move people. Must want to make our people feel, the way our music makes them feel."

The writer Allie Biswas, who selected the texts Neal wrote from 1964 to 1978 included here, introduces the volume, illuminating the rich and varied context in which he produced his work.

About the Author
Cultural critic and playwright Larry Neal (1937-1981) was a leading member of the Black Arts Movement in the 1960s and 1970s. He was born in Atlanta and grew up in Philadelphia, earning a BA in English and history from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. He also studied folklore as a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, after which he served as the arts editor for Liberator, where he published many of his essays about art. His collections of poetry, Black Boogaloo: Notes on a Black Literature (1969) and Hoodoo Hollerin Bebop Ghosts (1971), show the influence of vernacular speech and folklore.

Allie Biswas is a writer and editor based in London. In 2021, she coedited The Soul of a Nation Reader: Writings by and about Black American Artists, 1960-1980, a compendium of rarely seen historical texts that address the role of art during the civil rights movement. She has published interviews with artists including Theaster Gates, Rashid Johnson, Julie Mehretu, Meleko Mokgosi, Zanele Muholi, Adam Pendleton, and Wolfgang Tillmans. Her essays have appeared in books on Serge Alain Nitegeka, Reginald Sylvester II and Woody De Othello, amongst other artists. Most recently, she has contributed texts to Portia Zvavahera (David Zwirner Books, 2023), Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine, Strange Clay: Ceramics in Contemporary Art, and Frank Bowling: Sculpture. She is currently editing a monograph about the artist Hew Locke.

Great Case, Just Minor Issues
Color: Black, Size: Case for iPad (A16) 11th/10th Generation 11/10.9''
This case is an overall good case, in the sense that it does a good job protecting the tablet. It covers the entire screen with a plastic screen, which I personally like and don’t mind. It also had a kick stand and sting to hang it, which is a must for kids. My kid has not broken his tablet since getting this case, BUT he did not last very long with it on. The plastic screen protector and the front piece, made it super difficult for him to pull down his control center from the top right corner. This annoyed him so much that he ended up taking the whole case off and eventually losing it. If they could make the plastic sheet more fitted to the screen so that the issue is fixed I would give 5 stars.

A Tough Everyday Shield That Turns an iPad Into a Travel-Ready Tablet
Color: Black, Size: Case for iPad (A16) 11th/10th Generation 11/10.9''
I’m very impressed with this protective iPad case. It has a strong, rugged design that makes the tablet feel much safer for everyday use, especially for kids, travel, work, or anyone who needs extra protection. The black design looks modern, durable, and professional without being too bulky in appearance. What I like most is how complete and practical it is. The built-in stand makes it easy to watch videos, study, read, or use the iPad hands-free, and the hand strap adds extra comfort when carrying or holding it. The included shoulder strap is also a great bonus because it makes the case even more convenient for moving around. The raised edges and heavy-duty design give great peace of mind against drops, scratches, and daily bumps. Overall, this is a very useful and reliable iPad case that combines protection, comfort, and functionality in one. I’m very happy with it and would definitely recommend it.
