These essays, letters, poems, and meditations question the terms of Black diaspora across geography and generations. The collected works range from some of her earliest critical engagements with the scholars who have shaped her inquiry since graduate school, including Dionne Brand and Audre Lorde, to her most recent critical writings, to letters she's exchanged with Christina Sharpe, Torkwase Dyson, and others. In all stages, Gumbs challenges traditional tenets of Black Studies, centering the Caribbean as a nodal point of the Black diaspora and placing Black women at the center of intellectual history, artistic communities, and political movements. By transversing form and discipline, \u003ci\u003eMore Than an Ocean\u003c\/i\u003e paints an image not only of a Black queer feminist thinker but of what is possible in the work of inquiry and solidarity across differences and intimacies.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text py-4\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text py-4\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text py-4\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex flex-col self-stretch py-6\" data-astro-cid-if4vlc6e=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-astro-cid-if4vlc6e=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"py-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlexis Pauline Gumbs\u003c\/strong\u003e is a poet, independent scholar, and activist.
