Caapp Book Prize Ser

A radical meditation on harm, resistance, and the pursuit of restorative justice.
Reading guide
The series begins with Les Portes, structured in three movements: Le Début, Le Passé, and Le Présent.
The narrative moves from the onset of harm through the history of trauma and into the present reckoning, shifting from the experience of abuse to a reimagining of collective justice.

Description

The Caapp Book Prize Ser presents a profound exploration of generational trauma and the systemic harm inflicted upon women and femmes. Through the lens of a queer woman navigating an abusive marriage, the series challenges conventional narratives of domestic abuse and seeks a path toward healing that moves beyond punishment.

Utilizing a sophisticated blend of poetry and experimental forms, including zuihitsu, ekphrasis, and erasure, this literary series mirrors the fractured experience of surviving trauma. It serves as a powerful reckoning, prioritizing collective and non-carceral justice over simple resolution.
