Description:

Digital archives, like Black poetry that reaches back to the past, structure neighborhoods of meaning that bring home lost records and loss records to those who recognize them. In doing so, they trace how cultural descendants go back to lost sources, using innovative methods and resurrectionary poetics to sit in conversation with Black historical hauntings and to make space for–and to make peace for–our living dead.
