Author: Mullen, HarryetteSpeech/Acts brings together new and recent works by a generation of artists influenced by black experimental poetry. Artists Jibade-Khalil Huffman, Steffan i Jemison, Tony Lewis, Tiona Nekkia McClodden, Kameelah Janan Rasheed and Martine Syms all use experimental poetry in their work as a means to interrogate the power structures of language, rendering the experience of blackness more physically and affectively exact. In this volume, their work is presented alongside their poetic forerunners (seminal texts by Fred Moten and Harryette Mullen are reprinted), newly commissioned poetry by Morgan Parker and Simone White, and a new essay by curator Meg Onli.ISBN 9780884541431.
