Description
Book SynopsisA political, poetic excavation of the human landscape, charting the history of geography through the historic movement of its residents'' bodies and complicated habits.
Through intertextual intervention, this anti-linear collection reconceives the archives of Phoenix, Arizona to create a counter-map of the city and its trajectories of supremacist violence. [gamerover] tracks trajectories of colonial enterprizes, from the Arizona State Fair to the World''s Columbian Exposition in Chicago to the Tornillo Detention Center in Texas, investigating the oppressions of each imperial form in spaces of recreation, exhibition, and spectacle. Understanding the landscape as an ever-moving hypertext, these poems challenge entrenched means of representation, uses of public space, and positions of witness.
