Overview
"The goal of this thesis is to unravel the intricacies of lineage, intergenerational trauma, Blackness and mental health. This collection of poems yearns to use the lyric form to expand the understanding of healing, grief and ancestry. These poems push the boundaries of form, encouraging the reader to engage with the fragmented nature of piecing together the self in the midst of personal and collective trauma. Within the form of erasure, the burning of language and prose poetry, these pieces seek to present a new perspective of what it means to be Black and womxn. These pieces are also in conversation with other artists such as Stanley Kunitz, Carrie Mae Weems, Lucille Clifton and others. This collection asks the reader to explore their own relationship to ancestry and lineage, and the implications of what we carry into the lives we exist in." -- Abstract
