About This Poem

 

"This poem is from a series addressed to unconceived/unborn children whose imagined desires align and compete with those of the speaker. I wanted to create an image-system held together by longing and sound. Much of the poem is concerned with constructing the 'you,' these unreal and fleshly beings."
—Ama Codjoe

 

Ama Codjoe received a 2017 Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers' Award to support the completion of her first poetry collection, "Iterations of Being." She serves as visiting assistant professor of social justice and inclusion at The New School in New York City, where she lives.
