Excellent- More about Occupy Whiteness

Publisher: Deep Vellum Publishing
Occupy Whiteness is a captivating collection of hybrid erasure poems crafted by Joaquín Zihuatanejo, the inaugural Dallas Poet Laureate and multi-world slam competition winner. This innovative literary approach begins with long-form works of literature written by straight, white men, and Zihuatanejo intervenes by erasing words and sections, leaving only his poetry behind. The resulting white space that remains becomes colonized by Brown verse, creating a powerful statement of rebellion.
Occupy Whiteness is an act of reclaiming spaces that challenges the historical erasure of Brown life. It provides an unflinching examination of the present day, haunted and blessed by the image of ancestors who bravely crossed rivers and deserts in search of freedom. These poems are designed to provoke and unsettle, reminding the reader that neither the author nor the immigrant children he describes can be categorized as "Other." Through poignant poetry and interspersed photography from the border, Zihuatanejo skillfully depicts this complex and multifaceted place, which we all call home.
