Aprašymas

Moshumee Dewoo's Blood Orange Gospel is the raw, unapologetic psalm of a woman negotiating the ruins and rituals of her own survival in a world where she was never granted permission to take up space. Nothing here is polite. Nothing is healed. Nothing asks to be loved.

"Dewoo's Blood Orange Gospel follows a self 'raised quiet', an 'origami of no excess.' Moving from bleeding only 'between the lines' to the 'cracking' of breakthrough, these poems show a woman 'surviving herself without permission'. In this 'bone-deep' collection, fire is where the 'winged self' finally emerges'." Ncebakazi Makwetu, African woman poet and scholar, and researcher, South Africa.

"Dewoo's Blood Orange Gospel unsermonizingly captures a world where women subsist on literal and figurative femicide, choosing between failed revolution and 'shabby deals'. It demands a 'pluriverse' gender equality through resistance, insisting the only thing worth globalizing is dissent." Hassan M. Yosimbom-Author of Yearning for (Dis)Connections: Fictions and Frictions of Coexistence in Postcolonial Cameroon (2023).
