Self Portrait As Othello by Jason Allen-Paisant
A lyrical sequence that refracts the figure of Shakespeare’s Moor through contemporary cityscapes, using persona, travel notes, and love poems to interrogate Black masculinity, migration, and the politics of looking. Moving through museums, metro stations, and Venetian canals, the speaker navigates desire, surveillance, and belonging, reclaiming tenderness from a tragic archetype. The result is a hybrid of poems and prose pieces that stages selfhood as performance while searching for a liberating, diasporic way to live and love.
