“Can you read a kreol text without colonizing it? As I read unrest in the nebula, I experienced the beauty of refusing to consume or colonize language while finding myself at the edge of geological layers, and compacted histories of earth. These prose poems document a conversation far too old for any one lifetime, charting violence and possibility, rupture and healing. This book is reteaching me how to read.”—Alexis Pauline Gumbs, author of Dub: Finding Ceremony
