She has made the words her own in poetic form. She illuminates the invisible Black voices inside, a radical, surgical, and unapologetic Black appropriation, at the same time as a careful birthing and spiritual road map. The resulting poems are sizzling purifications, violent restorations of integrity, pain, wound, bewilderment, rage, and, sometimes, luminous generosity. Wende Marshall, co-editor\u00a0Insurrectionary Uprisings: A Reader in Revolutionary Nonviolence and Decolonization, will be in discussion with author, Nikesha Breeze. The show is moderated by Firoze Manji, publisher Daraja Press. As Wende puts it, &#8220;The violent, scathing white supremacy of Joseph Conrad\u2019s Heart of Darkness is traversed page by page and word by word in this brilliant prayer\/poem\u2014a work of reclamation, redemption, rescue, and repossession.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Mutiny of Morning: Reclaiming the Black Body from\u00a0Heart of Darkness\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A_Siyyss0H4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/A-Mutiny-of-Morning_-Reclaiming-the-Black-Body-from-Heart-of-Darkness.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Listen to audio recording<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikesha Breeze has taken pages from Joseph Conrad\u2019s Heart of Darkness, taken his words, and forced them to leave his colonized mind.
