Fetal Position BLM met de ondertitel OpstaanHolly Melgard Fetal Position is a poetic study of different forms of labor in scenes of their emergence such as the noise of being born and transmissions of inter generational violence. Here, voices speak who Melgard herself is not or not yet but who the poet operates in relation to becoming (potential parent, aspiring full time employee, deranged cat lady, a hurt person automated to reproduce harm), all of whom work to navigate futures in foreclosure.
