A poetry collection that uses Shakespeare's Othello as a starting point to explore the Black male body, movement, belonging, and self-image. Crossing London, Paris, and Venice, it layers poetic memory with a critical way of seeing.

Using Othello as a mirror, it rethinks the boundary between self and other in contemporary Europe.
