New Poetry from FENCE BOOKS

On the Way to the Paintings of Forest Robberies by Jennifer Nelson

Making exquisite trouble, these poems give voice to Nelson’s encounters with turbulent surfaces, from the twisted spectacles of the contemporary world--geopolitical, epistemological, and local--to esteemed artworks inseparable from the legacies of colonialism.

A not-for-profit corporation, Fence is mandated by its board to make decisions in keeping with its mission to maintain this venue, in print, aural, and digital forms, for writing that speaks across genre, socio-cultural niche, and ideological boundary, as accessibly as it can such that Fence publishes largely from its unsolicited submissions and is committed to the literature and art of queer writers and writers of color. Fence encourages collective appreciation of variousness by inhering collectively outside of the constraints of opinion, trend, and market.
