Vision

1562

In this sequence of poems, black female voices from C16th and C17th Britain speak across time to enter our lives and become part of our complex history. With them, we inhabit a poetic liminal zone in which we feel their despair, witness their linguistic transformations, celebrate their agency and respond to their lives as their chains become bonds that link us over time and cultural space.
