"tommy noun." employs familiar systems of knowledge and construction-grammar, dictionary, myth, legacy-as anchor to speak to the death of someone too young. What happens when sorrow deluges the capacity, the rules, of comprehension? This collection attempts to write itself into understanding and grace, in the voices of the mourning and the mourned, both human and animal.

Much of her artistic work-across the disciplines of language, movement, and film-is focused on black and brown people reclaiming their birthright to both wonderment and the quotidian.
