ABOUT ZOM-FA<\/em>M:
\nIn their debut poetry collection, Kama La Mackerel mythologizes a queer\/trans narrative of and for their home island, Mauritius. Composed of expansive lyric poems, ZOM-FAM<\/em> (meaning \u201cman-woman\u201d or \u201ctransgender\u201d in Mauritian Kreol) is a voyage into the coming-of-age of a gender-creative child growing up in the 80s and 90s on the plantation island, as they seek vocabularies for loving and honouring their queer\/trans self amidst the legacy of colonial silences.<\/div>\n
Multiply-voiced and imbued with complex storytelling, ZOM-FAM<\/em> showcases a fluid narrative that summons ancestral voices, femme tongues, broken colonial languages and a tender queer subjectivity, all of which grapple with the legacy of plantation servitude.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

KAMA LA MACKEREL is a Montreal-based Mauritian-Canadian multi-disciplinary artist, educator, writer, community-arts facilitator and literary translator who works within and across performance, photography, installations, textiles, digital art and literature. Kama\u2019s work is grounded in the exploration of justice, love, healing, decoloniality, hybridity, cosmopolitanism and self- and collective-empowerment. Kama has exhibited and performed their work internationally and their writing in English, French and Kreol has appeared in publications both online and in print. ZOM-FAM, their debut poetry collection is published by Metonymy Press.
