  • Summary

    The Conclusion examines the publication, reviewing, and prizing of poetry in the last decade. What are the institutional mechanisms through which poets of color have increasingly been shortlisted for, won, and served as judges for the Forward Prizes and the T. S. Eliot Prize, especially since 2015? Looking to Self-Portrait as Othello by Jason Allen-Paisant, the Conclusion spotlights how a critically acclaimed and award-winning collection anticipates, questions, and challenges its own racial tokenization in the awards circuit. In the process, however, Allen-Paisant self-fashions Othello through the writings of Aimé Césaire, thereby inventing a radical racial politics premised in impenetrability and bewilderment as his strategy for animating ways of being with difference in struggle and community.
