And My Blood Sang
And My Blood Sang
This collection is a story about the perseverance of the self and the strength of the community; the inevitability of becoming broken and beaten; the reminder that we are connected and we are exquisite; that our scars show where we did not die: and that when we are underestimated, bloodied, and battered, we will rise again.
Both personal and communal, drawing strength specifically from the Yazidi people through her time in Iraq - Maia tries to make sense of the utterly unimaginable and the all too common, so that the reader may take solace in exploring the beauty and depth of their own sheer strength in the face of pain and anguish.
The universe will always promise brutality and struggle.
Individuals will always possess the power of resilience.
Humanity will always offer a future.
"In And My Blood Sang, Maia Brown-Jackson harnesses the rawness of spirit and the rage that ricochets through each and every available vessel of the body. The poetry practice of reframing kintsugi as a reverse blackout poetry style is the golden thread that binds together each of these poems into an alchemical force that bends and folds darkness into something that shimmers: the open wound that affects your gait as you retrace your own heavy footsteps in the dark, dripping and smearing shreds of yourself along the path as you find your way back, forcing the fear of the unknown into something tangible you can touch, grab hold of, and use to lead yourself back out of the long-corrupted labyrinthine passages as Brown-Jackson's words illuminate the reawakening you seek.
"Brown-Jackson's voice is an incredible and vital one in the contemporary poetry landscape with a particularly acute resilience in the face of the violent and turbulent world we currently live in. I would certainly place the work alongside such visionary and luminary poets as Richard Siken, Anne Sexton, Sharon Olds, Sylvia Plath, Maya Angelou, Lucille Clifton, and Audre Lorde, for their confessional styles, willingness to confront uncomfortable truths, and alchemising power to transform the brutal and ruthless into something ornate and intricate." -- critic Ryan Stephen Thornton
