The Tradition is a 2019 poetry collection by American poet Jericho Brown.[2]
The collection won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.[3] Judges of the prize called the book "a collection of masterful lyrics that combine delicacy with historical urgency in their loving evocation of bodies vulnerable to hostility and violence."[4]
