Where and how does language mark our lines of belonging, unbelonging, or what can we do in language to atomize the boundaries. In work that interrogates our premises of law, nation, and traversal, Ammiel Alcalay and Jill Magi trouble forces of containment, pose counter-consideration to our histories, and offer in poems some more expanded future.
