| dc.description.abstract | HULL is a manuscript driven by bodily and imagined notions of witness that marry and complicate the historical and public with the personal and private. HULL is the buoyancy of a paradox; the un-shakable hyper corporeality of a body both Black and woman, and the social and spiritual liminality of Black womanhood. This collection is centered around a contemporary Black, queer, femme voice, and moves beyond the deeply familiar, beyond any implied monolith of definitive Blackness. These poems navigate memory, both experienced and inherited to chart moments of tenderness and brutality that people within the African Diaspora have experienced. | en |
