In work exalting the choral and the granular, the recorded and forgotten, the human and material afterlives of language, Kimberly Alidio and M. NourbeSe Philip guide us through constellations of counter-imperial relation. Frictive, attentive, combustive, and harmonious, their sweeping lyrics recompose the verbal strategies and stuff of colonial so-called order to channel wordways branching headlong for the future.
