      Exploring the metaphor of poetic constraint, this study examines how the experiences of enslaved and imprisoned poets reshape our understanding of lyricism and its political implications. By tracing the historical context from Ovid to contemporary figures, it highlights voices often marginalized in literary discourse. The dialogue includes a diverse range of poets, addressing how their works challenge traditional notions of freedom and creativity. This book serves as a significant critique of lyric studies, questioning the dominance of whiteness in literary criticism and advocating for a more inclusive approach to poetry.
