Description
Life-preserving salt is sprayed through the hard realities of rocks, stones, and rockstones used as anchors, game pieces, or weapons. This collection of poems travels through Africa, the Caribbean, and the USA, drawing on diverse cultures and varieties of English.
The poems center the experience of the outsider, whether an immigrant, a woman, or queer individual. With varying degrees of directness and abstraction, they engage different structures, forms, and experiences while addressing the sharp realities of family, sexuality, and immigration.
