Published by Kaya Press, MIGRITUDE is the US debut of internationally acclaimed poet, playwright and activist Shailja Patel. Part memoir, part political history, part performance tour-de-force. MIGRITUDE weaves together family history, reportage, and monologues of violence, colonization, and love, to create an achingly beautiful portrait of women's lives and migrant journeys undertaken in the boot print of Empire.
“It has been a delight to work with Chez Bryan Ong, Jen Chou, and Pritsana Kootint-Hadiatmodjo at Spoon and Fork, on the design of this book. Their evolution of a deeply satisfying intertextuality of content with shape, design, colour, and texture, have challenged me to deliver verbal potency that matches the material poetics of the pages.”
