Put it in a case
imprison it
kill it
put guards outside
charge admission
sneak in at night
steal it
resurrect it
plaster it
on the wall outside
No one looks
they just walk by
even if now
it’s free
As a political theorist, a lot of my work often centers on how we live under the conditions of structural inequality. My poetry allows me to explore new answers, and I often return to themes of creation, trauma, and reconciliation. I’m interested in how art and aesthetics allow us to explore new possibilities without the pressure of having all the answers. In this way, my political work and my artwork are two sides of the same coin.
