Author: Raina J. León Publisher: Nomadic Press (2016) Profeta Without Refuge engages in poetic experimentation through the writing of an Afrocentric and womanist creation myth in r esistance to state-sanctioned violence against Black and brown peoples. The book includes poems in the voices of three characters: the creator goddess of a Black immortal people; her human daughter who carries the vivid memories of generational trauma and joy; and the poet who serves as witness to reality and creator of the surreal as survival mechanism in our tumultuous times.
