I Am the Most Dangerous Thing

Candace Williams

4.9/5 (34050 ratings)

Description:Over the course of these poems, the Black, queer protagonist begins to erase violent structures and fill the white spaces with her hard-won wisdom and love. I am the Most Dangerous Thing doesn’t just use poetry to comment on life and history. The book is a comment on writing itself. What have words done? What can words do? When does writing become a form of disengagement, or worse, violence? It is an exercise in paring the state down to its true logic of violence and imagining what can happen next. The protagonist of this book teaches the same science that was used to justify enslavement and a racial caste system. She is an overseer in the same racist, misogynistic, and homophobic systems that terrorize her. Over the course of this book, the protagonist begins to erase these structures and fill the white spaces with her hard-won wisdom and love. She kills Kurtz because Marlow doesn’t have the heart to do it. She puts her death certificate in her own words to deny the state the last word. She is queer and fat and Black and chill and angry and witty and happy and lovely and flawed and a perfect dagger to the heart of white supremacist capitalism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
