Mummy Eaters Shenoda Sherry
Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets, Sherry Shenoda's collection Mummy Eaters follows in the footsteps of an imagined ancestor, one of the daughters of the house of Akhenaten in the Eighteenth Dynasty, Egypt. Parallel to this exploration run the implications of colonialism on her passage.The mythology of the ancient Egyptians was oriented toward resurrection through the preservation of the human body in mummification. Shenoda forges an imagined path through her ancestor's mummification and journey to the afterlife.
Today Egyptian human remains are displayed in Shenoda juxtaposes this reverence for the human body as sacred matter and a pathway to eternal life with the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century European fascination with ingesting Egyptian human remains as medicine and using exhumed Egyptian mummies as paper, paint, and fertilizer.
