"Because bodies are not rocks but get weighed down by them when tossed into the ocean to drown. Because bodies are not consumed by mouths but are covered in salty sweat and can be beaten like meat. Because bodies have mouths but can not always speak without being stoned and sometimes the mouths make the wrong shapes and so the bodies become demons then ghosts then demons then ghosts again. Because the bodies wash up on the shore and wash up still. Because all things that are life become death like water or salt or stone or rock or other bodies and when not all the bodies fit together huddled on the rock, and so as some bodies cling to the hard surface with their bruised fingers and open mouths, other bodies shove those bodies off, without blinking, because blinking would be memory, and here, in the unraveling hardness and conjuration of demons, memory is not always honest and words are not always true."--Janice Lee, Because bodies are not rocks but get weighed down by them when tossed into the ocean to drown.

"My brawn it belongs to the Ogun/ my blood it flows into the sea/ the two meet inside a black body/ and whisper you fight to be free," runs one of several verses before the newly meaningful call to "Bring/ Back." It is representative of several defining elements of the book, among them a deep engagement with history and mythology, a sense of play, and formal techniques that require the reader to hear-not just read-the poem...King uses English while writing beyond and against the bounds of its conventions, and also to foreground the speaking, hearing body-and importantly, the black, queer, female body-as the site where language originates and lands.", "King (Island Bodies), an accomplished scholar and performer, opens her formally daring verse debut with a version of "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean," recasting it to address Afro-Caribbean diasporas, and starring Yoruba deities Eshu, Oshun, and Ogun.

This original performance style was one reason why Shakes wanted to bring King to campus. 'King's Verse Cabaret technique represents a very interesting and fresh take on this method of performing, and I wanted the College of Wooster community to experience it as an alternative to other, more well-known forms of performance in the United States,' she said., If you only read one book of poems this year, treat yourself to this collection. Dr. King's imagery and language draws on different cultures, African, Carribean, Queer, and American, and folklore. Her poems are lyrical and rich, and her playfulness with language is apparent even as she addresses subjects that are heartbreaking, the positive energy of these poems shines through...Even if you are someone who does not read poetry, particularly if you are someone who does not read poetry, get outside of your comfort zone and read these poems.

Synopsis
RockSaltStone sprays life-preserving salt through the hard realities of rocks, stones, and rockstones used as anchors, game pieces, or weapons. The manuscript travels through Africa, the Caribbean, and the USA, including cultures and varieties of English from all of those places. The poems center the experience of the outsider, whether she is an immigrant, a woman, or queer. Sometimes direct, sometimes abstract, these poems engage different structures, forms, and experiences while addressing the sharp realities of family, sexuality, and immigration., Rock Salt Stone sprays life-preserving salt through the hard realities of rocks, stones, and rockstones used as anchors, game pieces, or weapons.
