And so for me, as an artist, I'm trying to speak about things in a universal way and not be pedantic or small-minded and try to convince other people of my political views.

I'm constantly, as I think many of us are, overwhelmed by the sort of, mass psychosis that's occurring.

Lenelle Moïse's poems render the abstract - policy, disaster, history, diaspora - specific.
