bruise/bruise/break is a full-color book of poems, critical essays, and images written, edited and designed by Jenni(f)fer Tamayo. The collection features multiple unpublished works including the essay, “The Fantastic Landscape of the Settlers’ Violent Dreams,” and the performance text, “terminator light” among others.
Written during the author's escape from the academy, the collection explores the colonial legacies of U.S. poetics, migrant futurity, the power of kinship and belonging, and killjoy femme aesthetics.
bruise/bruise/break is the author’s first self-published collection and is an experiment in autonomy and pleasure.
