Edges of Resistance (Plunderverse Poem #2)





Here's the full spread:




Edges of Resistance

voices are lyric,
strident, warlike
operatic and celebratory

horizontal panels,
collaged typewriter text
missile-like tongues

then a change
horrendous, almost unspeakable,
but different

I decided to make Woman the protagonist
presented in profile
she carries under her arm
a giant

Replying, she expressed her discomfort
at being the subject of a photograph

"I am my work ... the piece is more myself 
than the person,"

an act of revolt
angry, defiant, silenced
the ideal voice for having uttered 
the most extreme expressions of alienation
