Robin Coste Lewis, “Plantation” from Voyage of the Sable Venus and Other Poems (2015)

#in context this is a deeply harrowing and impactful line i think
#i'm still considering all the nuances of the full poem because there's so much to dissect. beautiful language
#and a really haunting sense of intimacy. haunting because of the heaviness of the racism in discussion here
#addressing this detached 'you' who is perhaps representative of every exploitative and oppressive body that has worked to sexualise and
#objectify and degrade your own body. consumption as an affecting force and not an empowering one
#there's no transcendence here (as i've been reading and seeing lately w cannibalism media) only this sad sense of being caged
#sacrifice and love in the worst of ways. ways that are not reciprocated only taken advantage of
#i'm getting out all my initial thoughts but this poem and i imagine the whole book as i proceed will take a while to fully sift through
#i haven't covered nearly all of the bases
