An evocative new collection from Thomas Glave that seamlessly weaves together global social justice, Jamaican queer history, and profound personal meditation.

This new collection of twenty-three (23) essays builds on the geopolitical, global, literary and personal themes in Glave's two earlier nonfiction collections and in his fiction, expanding into reflections on race and racism, Jamaica and Jamaican queer realities and recent history, British colonialism, trans-Atlantic slavery, grief, the Covid-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter, torture, sexual assault, writing in relation to activism, writers Nadine Gordimer and Stuart Hall, and more.

The essays and meditations foreground lyrical, evocative language in combination with compelling explorations of human rights, history, social justice, activism, literature, and the African diaspora.
