Snagged on red thread by Jazmine Linklater #poets “women poets oppose and resist

“women poets oppose and resist their conditions

loss and longing

her eyebrows dancing between puzzlement and knowledge

But whether they are refugees from war or violence

and emotionally rich experience

Snagged on red thread by Jazmine Linklater #poets “women poets oppose and resistSnagged on red thread is a long poem of protest, power and complicity. Jazmine Linklater articulates how the apparatus of Empire is encoded in the structures we live in: militarised sights set on schoolyards, bargaining arms deals with teenagers, surveilling civic squares, co opting institutions. And yet Snagged on red thread is compelled to march, to embroider, to bear witness.
