Beskrivelse af Muse Found in a Colonized Body
In the book's eponymous poem, Yesenia Montilla writes, "How do you not love yourself when you / constantly survive your undoing just by being precious?" Muse Found in a Colonized Body answers this rhetorical question by populating itself with poems that range far and wide in content -- observing pop culture, interrogating history, resisting contemporary injustice -- but that share the spinal cord of unflinching love. As Rachel Eliza Griffiths notes, Montilla's "powers orbit and intuit the lives of Philando Castile, Captain America, Christian Cooper, Karl Marx, Ahmaud Arbery, Eartha Kitt, and many more while stitching our wounded identities, memories, and histories in defiant poems of revision and joyous reclamation." The vertebral odes of this collection at turns uplift desire, affirm life, celebrate protest, and condemn the violent greed of imperial usurpation that has produced the U.S. as we know it. Both in its criticism and its admiration, Muse Found in a Colonized Body calls upon its readers to rise to the occasion of these lyrics' profound care.
