Incognegro

Incognegro gathers together poems and prose drawn from journals and the author's fugitive chapbooks, along with previously unpublished pieces, around a central context of Black European and American literary-historical experience.

Incognegro is about time, loss, and memory; but also the language and experience of separation and forgetting: like other works on the Black Atlantic the book is taken up with the Middle Passage; what happens, happened, and what keeps on happening; and the something in between that drains the reality of this new world in the memory of the old.
