By juxtaposing the character of Rinehart from Ralph Ellison's \u003ci\u003eInvisible Man\u003c\/i\u003e with the film \u003ci\u003e24 Frames\u003c\/i\u003e by Abbas Kiarostami, the poems leap into secondary histories, spaces, and languages that encompass a collective yet varied consciousness of being. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Cheswayo Mphanza's collection questions the boundaries of diaspora and narrative through a tethering of voices and forms that infringe on monolithic categorizations of Blackness and what can be intersected with it. The poems continue the conversations of the infinite possibilities of the imagination to dabble in, with, and out of history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCheswayo Mphanza\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Lusaka, Zambia, and raised in Chicago, Illinois.
