The concluding volume in a poetic trilogy, Dub: Finding Ceremony draws upon the work of Sylvia Wynter, dub poetry, and marine biology to propose methods for healing and living otherwise. Through a series of prose poems, Alexis Pauline Gumbs channels ancestral voices—from whales to oceanic bacteria—to interrogate the legacies of colonialism, slavery, and diaspora. This work serves as a narrative undoing of Western epistemologies, offering a Black feminist framework for reimagining human existence.
