Evie Shockley's new poems invite us to dream--and work--toward a more capacious "we"In her new poetry collection, Evie Shockley mobilizes visual art, sound, and multilayered language to chart routes towards openings for the collective dreaming of a more capacious "we." How do we navigate between the urgency of our own becoming and the imperative insight that whoever we are, we are in relation to each other? perched i am black, comely, a girl on the cusp of desire. Beginning with the visionary art of Black women like Alison Saar and Alma Thomas, Shockley's poems draw and forge a widening constellation of connections that help make visible the interdependence of everyone and everything on Earth.
spine upright, my pose proposes anticipation. i my dangling toes take the rest the rest of my body refuses.
