Summary:
"This poetry collection explores the themes of Black sovereignty, Haitian sovereignty, and Black lives, using the Haitian (original) Zombie as a metaphor for the condition of and treatment of Black bodies. Interspersed with info about Zombies, Haiti, policies etc., is the author's personal narrative of growing up Black, Haitian, of immigrant parents on stolen land. The collection is divided in two parts, The first half focusing on zombies and the second half focusing on
ocean
/water and the violent crossing as experienced by enslaved folks. The collection draws on and is influenced by the works of Dionne Brand, Christina Sharpe, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Robyn Maynard and other scholars. Finally, the title of the collection references the 'cure' for reversing the process of becoming a zombie."--Publisher.
