The poems grapple with oppressive systems of separation and colonial legacies, rejecting extractive, empire-driven paradigms, and gender essentialism. Within her collection, Reid envisions alternative, ethical ways of being, rooted in unity and wholeness and finds kinship with the rhythms and lifeways of the natural world--soil, stars, and water. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer poetry employs a trans-lyricism, weaving together dual meanings through homonyms, homophones, and portmanteaus to create a layered, fugitive language that resists rigid classifications. At its core, \u003ci\u003e Interlocutor Goddess\u003c\/i\u003e is an act of transfiguration, a celebration of girlhood, and a reclamation of wholeness for all who exist beyond imposed boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJasmine Reid\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eInterlocutor Goddess\u003c\/i\u003e (Autumn House Press, forthcoming), winner of the 2024 CAAPP Book Prize, and the chapbook, \u003ci\u003eDeus Ex Nigrum\u003c\/i\u003e (Honeysuckle Press, 2020).
