Description
Ashley M. Jones's dark // thing is a powerful exploration of the darkness and otherness that Black people face in society. Through her poetry, she confronts the racism that reduces individuals to objects or "things" that can be killed, enslaved, oppressed, or devalued. This multifaceted work ultimately separates darkness from thingness, affirming and celebrating humanity.
