@rebeccaoh As an intro to the form, maybe Derek Walcott’s “Ruins of a Great House” would be appropriate? I think there is a lot in the poetic form that can capture the postcolonial residue, and this one is all about agricultural imperialism and it’s structures of oppression. The imagery of the rotting limes is a great place to pivot discussion around the lack of true connection with the trees and their fruit beyond the callous economics.
