Welcome to Litsy!

From Tanzania to Portugal, from India to Iraq, this volume charts the twenty-first century imaginative echo of empire and displacement in our current moment of terror and globalization. These poems articulate a complex portrait of female sexuality and personhood. They excavate the legacy of empire with philosophical rigor, but also dwell in humiliation and wonder, accusation and regret, while trying to envision what indeed remains "after" the era of Kingdoms and Kinghood.
