Summary note

"The poems in the collection are interested in the unnamed spaces of agency that exist beyond the limits imposed on black femme bodies. As a whole its preoccupied with utilizing the lessons of lived experience to comment on and engage with larger movements toward expression and liberation for black people across temporal and physic spaces. So the collection moves in and out of the material and the spiritual world, in and out of nations and borders. The collection riffs off and borrows from varied intellectual and quotidian discourses regarding queerness, Afro-diasporic studies, refugee studies, gender and sexuality, and Global South subjectivity"-- Provided by publisher.
