Bury My Clothes is a meditation on violence. It is a meditation on race. It is a meditation on the places at which they intersect, politically, culturally and personally. Amongst oppressed communities of colour, it is about survival. It is about establishing personhood in the world, where everything around suggests non-personhood. And as such, it establishes legacy in a culture and history of non-ownership, through the ownership of idea and ideal. The poems in this powerful collection offer a prayer, a signpost for a new, more total way to exist.
