Abstract
Women & Children explores complications of postcolonial representation with particular regard to genre. This collection transcends historical and national perspectives to investigate underrepresented experiences and provides brief impressions of fictive women and children. Women & Children lies along the border of documentary poetics and flash lyric fiction, and builds atmospheric vignettes from historical source texts. The collection experiments with multilingualism to explore the relationship of language to subjectivity, culture, and the lyric. Through such linguistic and generic representation, Women & Children attempts to chart a poetics of account for lost history in counter to cultural hegemony.
