Captor
Poems by Pauline Lacanilao Arnould
Deeply rooted in feminist, cosmopolitan, & affect theory, Captor interrogates the intersections of gender, migration, trauma, violence, & the human condition in an increasingly digitized & postcapitalist world. With precision & lyricism, Pauline Lacanilao Arnould’s poetry grapples with the weight of history & the fractures of the present, offering a striking meditation on displacement, memory, & survival.
