I have released a new book of poetry in the wake of my one-person show, “Re/Counting Wo/Man” which was commissioned by Counterpulse theatre for the #WeavingSpirits Festival in San Francisco on March 7th. All of the poems that I performed in the show are found in this collection, along with many more. In this collection, I explore history, ancestry, racism, identity, traditional culture, modernity, sexuality, gender, indigeneity and blackness thought the lens of hybridity and mulitipositionaity. My poems name and claim, decry and protest the histories of my peoples in a effort to teach the beauty of oneness through a celebration of difference. By provoking, challenging, and interrupting both modern and traditional narratives, these poems take the reader on an unsettling and eye-opening narrative journey. In the end, the problematics of place and race that mark this collection lead to an insinuated revelation of splintered yet shared humanity. To purchase the book, click the link in bio. $15
