MELT Reading Group: Ways to Move – Black Insurgent Grammars

Jonathan González

Thu, Jul 23, 2026

a dark green book cover with a textured, painterly surface resembling an aerial view of land and water. faint silhouettes suggest a figure reclining or drifting along the right side. across the center spine, vertical text reads “ways to move” and “black insurgent grammars” by jonathan gonzález. on the front cover, the title appears in serif type at the lower right. on the back, soft white lines of text read: “i want to be with you in the ways with you of vertigo seas / i want to be with you in the ways with you of smashing monuments / i want to be with you in the ways with you of these lonely trees.” the overall design is atmospheric, minimal, and evocative of movement, memory, and landscape.
