#ANINFECTEDSUNSET by Demian DinéYazhi´This entire book was lovingly printed on a risograph printer. QTPOC artists will fuck up the world with beauty and harmony and innovation. The production and writing of this book is 100% POC made from start to finish. ♂️.AN INFECTED SUNSET is an ekphrastic long-form prose poem first conceived in August 2016 in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting, police killings of unarmed Black men, and in the midst of the Standing Rock #NODAPL Resistance. During the writing of the poem the settler colonial nation state elected the 45th president of this colonized country, which revealed a sudden revival of extreme white supremacist nationalism.As the social landscape evolved, the #LIBERATEDPOEM emerged as an offering to Indigenous communities and landscapes that strive for a decolonial and sovereign future emancipated from white supremacist capitalist heteropatriarchal settler colonial trauma drama. This performance poem is a reflection on queer sex, survival and death politics, indigenous identity, settler and heteronormative romanticism, environmental injustice, and the importance of honoring community.John Akira Harrold designed the cover and it is nothing short of beautiful and sturdy and impressive. Thank you @purduboispress and Timme Lu for working so hard on printing this book! -- source link
