Tracing the history of images reveals the structure of racial representation.

A poetry collection that gives voice to enslaved women through historical research and poetic monologue. It does not settle for tragedy alone but lets resistance, solidarity, and everyday feeling resonate in each speaker's voice.

It restates historical silence through the voices of many women.
