“…Subsequent printings have included more names—first Eric Garner then John Crawford, killed by a police officer while carrying a BB gun in an Ohio Walmart—and eventually sixteen more memorials, including Tamir Rice and Freddie Gray, with a fading stream of “In Memory” stretched across the remainder of the page, and with the recto reading, “because white men can’t / police their imagination / black men are dying.”This paper traces the post-publication variants in Citizen as an index of the book’s attempts to remake itself in response to new tragedies, and to portray white violence more broadly than in the “justice system” alone. …”

The second intertext is with the Bible, in particular with two books of the Old Testament, the Song of Songs and the Book of Hosea, but also more broadly with the beginning of Genesis and the end of the Gospels, which allows Claudel to lead Mesa and Ysé to the repentance in the last act of the play and to affirm the reconciliation of Man and Woman in God. …”
