Overview

For melissa christine goodrum, definitions are acts of subversive re-definings and un-definings, in lines which forcibly penetrate surfaces, sing and swiftly cross multiple layers of text/geography through a turbulent and politically aware dialogue. Her composition coils around spaces between language and thought, word and page, ink and print in spatial movements of three. The final ascension lifts the reader to an innovative/ jazz-like understanding and invites alternating systems of seeing-multiple sensory actions of rising-uprising-"from death" or "from bed" or "from sitting" or "of a woman after confinement"- "against authority or for [a] common purpose" (OED uprising defs.1,2a,b,c & 7).
