On Earth, As It Is

This manuscript of poems addresses the collisions of the body—what is often meant when we say intersectionality. These poems take on the politics of race, religion, gender, and history and employ the filters of persona, pop-culture, social media, and letters. This manuscript is a culmination of the lessons in craft, theory, and literature based coursework offered by the noble Creative Writing Department at the University of Missouri—Kansas City. These poems draw on my deep Southern upbringing and collaborate with the music, mythology, and dire mundaneness of everyday living.
