Black Box Flight Recorder is a speculative science fiction horror poetry chapbook. It consists of experimental poems that reimagine Black girlhood as a kind of flight data recorder for the crash of empire. The title plays with the idea of what gets preserved when everything else burns. What records do Black bodies hold? What data do we send out during a catastrophe? The collection explores how extractive systems, such as data mining, are extensions of colonial violence. Ultimately, it's about Black girls refusing to be passengers in systems that aim to direct them toward set destinations. Instead, they become pilots charting coordinates to places that exist outside (post)colonial maps.
