It asks: If ritualized violence upholds white supremacy, what ritualized acts of liberation can be activated to subvert and reclaim power? In essays from a diverse group of contributing poets, organizers, and ritual artists, Poetry as Spellcasting helps readers explore, play, and deepen their creativity and intuition as integral tools for self- and communal healing and social change. Each section opens with a poem and includes prompts that invite the reader to engage more deeply with: - Portals of Inheritance: Ancestral Teachings, Possible Futures opens portals to messages from ancestors and for survival - Languages of Liberation, Disruption, and Magic explores how poetry and spellcasting allow us to enter into and harness language in active, heightened ways that both reflect reality and manifest alternatives. - Invoking Radical Imagination leans into the incantatory possibilities of poetry as prayer and poetry as enchantment. - Sacred Practices: Rituals of Repair and Revision explores writing as ritual, ritual as practice, and practice as doing, drawing connections between the creative practices of poetry and spellwork. - Lighting Fires, Breaking Chains focuses on the explicitly magical and political nature of poetry as spellcasting. - Elemental Ecologies, Spiritual Technologies wrestles with concepts of home, colonization, and belonging Both poetry and occult studies have been historically dominated by white, cishet writers; here, Poetry as Spellcasting reclaims the centrality of queer and BIPOC voices in poetry, magic, and liberatory spellwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tamiko Beyer,Destiny Hemphill,Lisbeth White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1038707439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781038707437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ReadHowYouWant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Tamiko Beyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874467426559,"sku":"9781038707437","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetry-as-spellcasting-tamiko-beyer-9781038707437","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
