Framed by Griffith’s experiences as a diasporic woman of West Indian descent, the poems document the history, romance, love, and loss witnessed in the ordinary drama of everyday American life. Yoruba beliefs lie at the heart of Griffith’s poetics, where reverence for the ancestors and remembering the bodies dismembered and disremembered by a legacy of transatlantic slavery are part of an aesthetic invested in promoting self-discovery through wrestling with humanity’s beautiful “ugliness.” \u003ci\u003eDedications\u003c\/i\u003e is edited by Lost \u0026amp; Found scholar and archival collaborator Joseph Anthony Cáceres.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45372672540695,"sku":"9781958675052","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/1784843029-900.png?v=1785968020","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/griffith-lois-elaine-dedications","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
