Venture into a brief yet transportive world that is defined by its lack of definition, creates comfort in the unknown, and inhabits obfuscated spaces between the truths we are told to internalize. Melanin Sun (–) Blind Spots is a micro-collection of ten experimental poems that mystify self-identification, exploring racial ambiguity after the passing of a Black father figure with the use of strikethrough, redaction, and unconventional punctuation. While drawn from a biracial experience, these poems are applicable to anyone who has struggled to self-label or has battled grief.
