Five Poems contemporary

Juliana Sankofa

The body emerges here as a contested archive in which the afterlives of slavery, the intimate violences of gendered power, and the historical dispossession of Black subjectivity are inscribed, resisted, and continually rewritten through the material force of language. Refusing the disciplinary grammars of racial capitalism and patriarchal intimacy, this poetry reclaims tenderness, desire, anger, and self-representation as practices of political agency, transforming writing into an insurgent act of recovering what colonial history sought to erase and what the present continues to render unspeakable.
