| Summary: | Borderland Apocrypha is centered around the collective histories of Mexican lynchings following the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, and the subsequent erasures, traumas and state-sanctioned violences committed towards communities of color in the present day. Cody's debut collection responds to the destabilized, hostile landscapes and silenced histories via an experimental poetic that invents and shapeshifts in both form and space across the margin, the page and the book's axis in a resistance, a reclamation and a reoccupation of what has been omitted. Part autohistoria, part docupoetic, part visual monument, part mythmaking, Borderland Apocrypha exhumes the past in order to work toward survival, reckoning and futurebuilding. |
