  • Summary

    This synesthetic chapter enacts listens for queer poetics in theory, queer theory in poetics. Divers semantic, physical, and spatial positions swerve on formal constraint, and in the swerves, skrrts, and twerks that streak verses, piss, ideas, and tire tracks across this chapter, a sense of the range of queer desire emerges. Written with a viscerally formal, Caribbean, Latinx, Diasporic Black Poetics imaginary, this chapter waters the unruly growths of (indigenous, black, and insurgent) geographic and grammatical grounds.
