Dub: Finding Ceremony by Alexis Pauline Gumbs
5.0
lovedddd this book— i read it before creating anything, to start journal entries, as a form of prayer.
the poetry here reads the way my dreams feel, like time travel, an oceanic portal. meditating on ancestry and Blackness, i’m inspired by this piece’s ability to balance finding your past & future in natural/spiritual/non-human worlds while still learning from this life & remaining deeply human.
big rec if u appreciate experimental poetry (style has roots in jamaican dub poetry! can u hear the music as u read?) + as a resource to reimagine ourselves. it’ll be a favorite for a longggg time, if u read it we gotta chat
