"Javier mixes modern and archaic words in ways that can make the book feel like a linguistic time machine."-- Publishers Weekly"Amid Javier's aesthetics of plenitude and pleasure there are subtle and beguiling linguistic processes in play, philosophy and literary history viewable as if through a fantasist's kaleidoscope, and interstellar frequencies that remix personal romance and post-post-colonial critique."--John Keene, "Propelled by Paolo Javier's inexhaustible but canny energy and assisted by intricate images created by Alex Tarampi and Ernest Concepcion, O.B.B. aka the Original Brown Boy is a politically astute, socially generous, and magnificently melodramatic critique of contemporary and perpetual colonialism in Amerika. Yes, Javier is outraged by what he knows and sees in the imperialist history and neoliberal present effecting pretty much all of human society, including, lest we forget, Pilipinx people. But anger is by no means the sole driving force of O.B.B. Influenced by political cartoons, expert at deploying the radical juxtapositions and narrative disjunctions of comic strips, and grounded in a long engagement with avant-garde poetry and poetics, Javier sends O.B.B.'s pages gamboling forth, bearing love as well as militancy. And, like its author and illustrators, the readers of O.B.B. will gratefully participate in its improvisatory play and delight in its aesthetic power, and they--we--will return to the book over and over."-- Lyn Hejinian "From the tiniest detail of a perfect ampersand against the noise of a dirty photocopier to grand filmic illustrations--this book is everything at once. The O.B.B. has constructed new forms from old forms, knocked them all down and built them back up again. The rules were broken and then rewritten. All of the years of labour and love are to be felt. I've never seen anything like it. It is a book to behold."-- Sonja Ahlers "Perhaps this is how the epic poem will survive into the twenty second century, as an aerial nomadic journey laid out in color as well as black and white. There are countless gradations and qualities of line pressed into service here. The language comes across as essential to its imagery, even when stenciled in or glued down to the page. O.B.B. is built like a trembling tower of books within books. A life-long structure, bright enough to bear the glare of the cosmos."-- Cedar Sigo "A former Queens Borough poet laureate, Philippine-born Paolo Javier references the Original Brown Boy in O.B.B. (Nightboat, Jun.), aptly described as a postcolonial techno dream-pop comics poem and invested with the author's experiences as an immigrant and an artist (illustrations by Ernest Concepcion)."-- Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal, "Propelled by Paolo Javier's inexhaustible but canny energy and assisted by intricate images created by Alex Tarampi and Ernest Concepcion, O.B.B. aka the Original Brown Boy is a politically astute, socially generous, and magnificently melodramatic critique of contemporary and perpetual colonialism in Amerika.

A graphic memoir, a comic in verse, some ancient tabletop game? Its influences are legion: the polyphonic roar of anticolonial wordsmiths, the intimate yells of ambulating urbanites, the genre-bending hybrids of vispo pataphysicians. O.B.B. unfolds as a glorious amalgam of intersecting aesthetics and intersectional politics, where bpNichol's 'borderblur' meets Gloria Anzaldua's 'borderlands.' If, as we learn in the text's initial pages, Paolo Javier is the offspring of parents Prim and Rose, then O.B.B. is the wild child of a primrose in bloom."-- Stephen Voyce "What do poetry and comics have in common? Quite a lot, actually. In this spectacular book, Paolo Javier shows us just how much. But the showing and the knowing are 'between panels' as comics lovers know--and in the quiet transitions that invite readers and viewers to breathe, to actively process, and maybe even reconsider. I was on the verge of breaking up with poetry (again), but O.B.B. convinced me otherwise. It's a page-turning, snake-charming, devil of a book that captures and honors the best of comics and poetry. Every section--I kid you not--elevates the one before it. It's a book that wants you to know where it's going and where it's been. It's a book I'll be reading for years and years. From its first utterances to its luring art to its provocative afterword, I didn't want O.B.B. to end!"-- Yona Harvey "A former Queens Borough poet laureate, Philippine-born Paolo Javier references the Original Brown Boy in O.B.B. (Nightboat, Jun.), aptly described as a postcolonial techno dream-pop comics poem and invested with the author's experiences as an immigrant and an artist (illustrations by Ernest Concepcion)."-- Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal

Synopsis
Crafted through years-long collaborations, OBB aka The Original Brown Boy is a postcolonial techno dream-pop comics poem that records two decades of the author's experiences as an immigrant and artist, *This book collects a series of collaborations with comic artists, including Ernest Concepcion and Alex Tarampi *Author was the Queens Poet Laureate from 2010 to 2014 *Author organized poetry and art festival at Queens Museum of Art, Eterniday: Queens Poet Lore Festival of the Language Arts *Author was profiled by Ian Frazier in The New Yorker in 2015 *Author participated in the Queens International in 2018-2019 *Author was a featured blogger on The Poetry Foundation's Harriet *Author is Program Director of Poets House *Author has 20 years of experience as an educator both at college level and secondary & middle school levels (ELA) as a public school teacher *Author holds a BFA from the University of British Columbia and MFA from Bard College *Awards: Queens Council of the Arts, Queens Poet Laureate, Small Press Traffic Book of the Year Award for the time at the end of this writing (Ahadada), 2004, OBB a.k.a. The Original Brown Boy has many identities: it is a comics poem and a manifesto on comics poetry; an experimental comic book sequel to a poem twenty years in the making; and an homage to the Mimeo Revolution, weird fiction, kamishibai, the political cartoon, Pilipinx komiks history, and the poet bp Nichol. Javier deconstructs a post-9/11 Pilipinx identity amid the lasting fog of the Philippine American War, to compose a far-out comic book awit.
