bruise/bruise/break is a full-color book of poems, critical essays, and images written, edited and designed by Jennif(f)er Tamayo.
bruise/bruise/break features multiple unpublished works including the essay “The Fantastic Landscape of the Settler’s Violent Dreams” and the performance text, “terminator light.” Written during the author's escape from the academy, the collection explores the enduring colonial legacies of American 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.
