Captivity
Captivity | Toi Derricotte
1 post | 1 read
What are the forces that cause us to strike out and harm each other? Captivity explores the way in which the individual is held hostage by society; how the forces of racism, sexism, and classism frequently express themselves as violence within the family. The book also explores a deeper captivity, like the Jews in Egypt yearning for the Promised Land, the soul trapped in exile from God.

Most of the poems in this were really dark, the image is an exception.

This collection is really good.
