Poetry. "The sexuality of poverty (and the poverty of sexuality), as lived by the commodified producer of life and life-source, is a pervasive concern of Yedda Morrison's latest work. SHED is like the early Martha Rosler in words, but with a productivist bent amidst the now-dominant comsumptive paradigms of corporate globalism. In SHED, Morrison lays bare the logic of capitalist (re)production that is manifest in the labors of industrial agricultural workers who 'pick' and 'ship,' and who are (and have been historically) then 'picked' and 'shipped' for their sexual (shall we say) capacity. Teeming with the contradictory configurations of life 'feminized' under capitalism, Morrison's SHED will refocus your critical poetic lens, as the productive crucible beckons a new generation of feminist writers."—Laura Elrick
