Description
Self-portrait as Othello by Jason Allen-Paisant is a poetic memoir that explores the complexities of identity through the lens of Shakespeare's iconic character. In this innovative collection, Allen-Paisant reimagines Othello in modern urban landscapes, delving into themes of intersectionality, transgressiveness and vulnerability. By portraying himself as Othello, the poet refracts his own experiences as a European traveler, Black male body, and immigrant. This powerful work of poetry offers a nuanced exploration of feeling and identity, one that continues to resonate in twenty-first-century Europe.
