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.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.
