Revising the Storm, the award-winning debut collection by Cave Canem fellow Geffrey Davis, burrows under the surface of gender, addiction, recovery, bitterness, faith, and clumsy love. The tones explored—tender, comic, wry, tragic—interrogate male subjectivity and privilege as they examine their “embarrassed desires” for familial connection, sexual love, compassion, and repair. Revising the Storm speaks to the sons and daughters affected by the drug/crack epidemic of the ’80s, addressing issues of masculinity and its importance in family.
