Book description
Joshua Bennett's The Study of Human Life isn't just read-it's lived, especially through the sheer, intimate power of its audiobook. You don't just hear Bennett's words; you feel them settle into your bones, carried by his voice-a warm, resonant instrument that turns poetry into a shared heartbeat. This isn't background noise; it's a conversation with a brilliant, tender mind navigating a world both fractured and fiercely hopeful.
The album unfolds like a journey. First, his autobiographical poems-raw with the ache of family, loss, and youthful dreams-land with stunning clarity. You hear the vulnerability in his pauses, the quiet joy in lines about childhood. Then comes the stunning centerpiece: The Book of Mycah, where Malcolm X's resurrection collides with the ghost of a young Black man killed by police decades later in Brooklyn. Bennett's voice doesn't just narrate this alternate history-it breathes it, weaving grief and defiance into something mythic, urgent. The New Yorker called his work "bordering on mythic," and on audio, that's undeniable. You feel the weight of history pressing against the present, made immediate by his cadence.
And then, the final section-poems written after his child's birth. These are the heartbeats of the collection. Hearing Bennett speak about fatherhood, the terrifying, radiant fear and love of holding a new life, is profoundly moving. Tracy K Smith calls his voice "dolorous, rejoicing"-and on the audiobook, you hear both in the same breath, the sorrow and the soaring hope. It's not just about being a parent; it's about building a future, now, in the midst of chaos.
What makes this audiobook truly special is how Bennett's delivery makes the political personal and the personal political. When he writes about abolition, Black ecological consciousness, or the "boundless promise of parenthood," you don't feel lectured-you feel understood, connected. Jesse McCarthy's praise of him as "one of the brightest intellectual and political thinkers of a new generation" rings true here: Bennett doesn't just write about change; he makes you feel it, in the rhythm of his voice, in the space between his words. You're not just listening to a book; you're walking alongside him, in the quiet moments of his life and the urgent, collective work of building something new. It's a gift-a reminder that in the midst of emergency, we are, together, already creating the world we need. And that's a voice you'll carry with you long after the final word fades.
