Developed as a response to Modernist art and literature, this collection of poetry and art challenges the way we appreciate the artistic genre. Instead of creating art inspired by poetry or poetry inspired by art, this work melds those two into a cohesive work, with neither being the progenitor of the other. It examines the history of blackness and looks at that history through a modern lens, changing how we see our heroes, how we see ourselves, and how we see society. It questions how we communicate and how we amuse ourselves. It redraws our innate sense of beauty. It examines gender roles and abuse.
Created by a mother and daughter team, this book of poetry provides image to imagery. With Katerina Canyon’s poems and Aja Canyon’s illustrations, this work is a conversation between them as they examine what it means to operate within the world as black women.
