NAN VANT SOLÈY LA / IN THE BELLY OF THE SUN

by Abigail Lucien
published by GenderFail Press
with Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo, Justin Chance, Cielo Félix-Hernández, Tamara Santibañez and Sucking Salt

Through creative nonfiction, poetry, and the printed image, the publication considers the playful and purposeful self-actualization of a bicultural queer identity while navigating grief as a landscape to address themes of (be)longing, futurity, and place. Alongside a collection of their works and research, Abigail Lucien weaves written and visual offerings by fellow Caribbean and queer artists, including works by Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo, Justin Chance, Cielo Felix-Hernandez, Sucking Salt, and Tamara Santibañez, to create an expanded context for their work rooted in friendship and radical love.
