Smoking Lovely: The Remix

Smoking Lovelys explorations of poetry and the neoliberal city at the intersection of community and commodity.

In this radically revised new edition, Perdomo shifts the poem into mostly second person, thereby further accentuating its self-reflexive and complex exploration of self-and/as-other, and of the simultaneous othering, commodification, and spectacularization of Afro-diasporic bodies and cultural forms.
