In or, on being the other woman, Simone White considers the
dynamics of contemporary black feminist life. Throughout this
book-length poem, White writes through a hybrid of poetry, essay,
personal narrative, and critical theory, attesting to the narrative
complexities of writing and living as a black woman and artist. She
considers black social life-from art and motherhood to trap music
and love-as unspeakably troubling and reflects on the degree to
which it strands and punishes black women. She also explores what
constitutes sexual freedom and the rewards and dangers that come
with it. White meditates on trap music and the ways artists such as
Future and Meek Mill and the sonic waves of the drum machine convey
desire and the black experience. Charting the pressures of ordinary
black womanhood, White pushes the limits of language, showing how
those limits can be the basis for new modes of expression.
