Welcome to the latest iteration of my online notebooks. This newsletter is called feud(al), the title of a poem in my debut collection, because meditating on the incongruities and conflicts that animate our world is my major pastime. :)
My contention is that feudalism, that system of subservience to capital, never ended, and that the feuds that characterize our society, internal lives, and relationships, are a symptom of that lingering dysfunction.
I invite you to subscribe to receive my semi-regular updates that may ramble through poetry, mental health/illness, (im)migration, conflict, the African diaspora, and the suspicion that all is not as it should be.
Meanwhile, you are welcome to share (about) this newsletter.
Thank you.
