Overview
"Explores the perception of a particular brown body, in this case a brown boy’s body. The title poem was inspired by Wallace Stevens’ 'Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird,' but after some great advice, I realized that it was also the title of this short collection, as it navigates the process of understanding that there are various ways one can become aware of one’s own body through the awareness of others, which is why the first four sections focus on 'looking' at others until the final section, where the gaze is turned onto the particular suggested brown body in the title. Ultimately, this collection tries to answer the question of what it means to really know something. But it doesn’t give an answer, it's only an exercise." --Abstract.
