Logan February: »Mental Voodoo«

In the organizer's words:

Logan February, poet:in from Nigeria, describes the poetic practice between the languages Yorùbá and English in the poems of the poetry collection of the same name, which has now also been published in a German version, as "Mental Voodoo". This powerful connection between pre-colonial, genderfluid, West African traditions and queer discourses of our present day makes Mental Voodoo a dynamic place of creative exchange and production. In eight parts, including self-portraits, fuckboys, mothers and prayers, February merges queer identities, family histories and spiritualism in a rousing, innovative form. Salon host Zoë Lecht talks to Logan February about queer desire, (post-)colonialism and conceptual poetry.
