Poems that address the pain caused by gender stereotypes and racial
oppression in the American South. Claire Millikin's poetry
collection, Dolls, stages a confrontation of gendered and racial
oppression. Working through the motif of the doll, the poems
interrogate femininity in the traditional culture of the South,
where damaging structures of gender and race are upheld. Millikin
centers the book on an elegy for Sage Smith, an African American
trans woman who disappeared from Charlottesville in 2012. Through
the recurring figure of the doll-an ultra-femme figure who is
frozen, damaged, silenced-Millikin protests the conditions of
sexism in the area she was born in, offering poised responses to
the wound of injustice that still shapes the region. With a
reflective introduction by poet and scholar Sean Frederick Forbes,
Dolls presents a harsh look at the price of traditional femininity.
