Miscegenation Round Dance: poemes historiques

Miscegenation Round Dance is a fierce collection that pierces your heart with ancestral

knowledge. It asks questions such as ‘how many ways removed from violence am I

through the language of poetry?’ These poems take us through the lived experiences of

holding different nations: Black, Indigenous, and settler backgrounds, within one’s

body, one’s vessel. Rain dances us through ‘the topography of pain’ and history as the

poems help us re-learn and re-write colonial narratives, begging the colonizer to:

‘unoccupy me.’ This is a powerful and unapologetic collection sure to move you at your

core.
