Halifax's former Poet Laureate Afua Cooper and photographer Wilfried
Raussert collaborate in this book of poems and photographs focused on
everyday Black experiences. The result is a jambalaya -- a dialogue
between image and text. Cooper translates Raussert's photos into poetry,
painting a profound image of what disembodied historical facts might
look like when they are embodied in contemporary characters. This visual
and textual conversation honours the multiple layers of Blackness in the
African diaspora around North America and Europe. The result is a work
that amplifies black beauty and offers audible resistance.
