Composed of expansive lyric poems, \u003ci\u003eZOM-FAM\u003c\/i\u003e (meaning \"man-woman\" or \"transgender\" in Mauritian Kreol) is a voyage into the coming of age of a gender-creative child growing up in the 80s and 90s on the plantation island, as they seek vocabularies for loving and honouring their queer\/trans self amidst the legacy of colonial silences. Multiply voiced and imbued with complex storytelling, \u003ci\u003eZOM-FAM\u003c\/i\u003e showcases a fluid narrative that summons ancestral voices, femme tongues, broken colonial languages, and a tender queer subjectivity, all of which grapple with the legacy of plantation servitude.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmerging from a creative process in spoken word and live performance, these poems transform the page into a stage where the queer femme body is written and mapped onto the colonial space of the home\/island. Interwoven with Kreol, \u003ci\u003eZOM-FAM\u003c\/i\u003e showcases a unique lyrical sensibility, a musicality influenced by the both unforgiving and soothing rhythms of the ocean, where the poet enunciates the complexity of their displaced Indo-African roots, \"the lineage of silence \/ that we weave in-between our intimacies.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.2 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 10, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48527800729849,"sku":"9781999058845","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/KF0pwg5NaV9781999058845.webp?v=1781389295","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/zom-fam-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
