Interspersed with information about zombies, Haiti, and policies is the author's personal narrative of growing up Black and Haitian of immigrant parents on stolen land. The collection is divided into two sections: the first half focusses on zombies, while the second focusses on the ocean/water and the violent crossing experienced by enslaved folks. The book's title refers to the "cure" for reversing the process of becoming a zombie.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"By removing punctuation, historical signature of her publisher, the poet invites her readers to inhabit ... her very skin as she gets naked and vulnerable in poems that tell not only her story but the story of millions before her ...

It is time to sink or swim for survival, and this collection is swimming lessons on dry land as we absorb them during lockdown."<br/>--Linda Rogers, the <em>Ormsby Review</em></p> --Linda Rogers "the Ormsby Review"<br><br><p>Désil intersperses her personal story of growing up Black and Haitian in Canada with snippets from fictions, newspaper articles, dictionaries and judicial papers, creating a multi-layered exploration that is as political as it is personal.<br/>--the <em>Tyee</em></p><br><br>Poignant.-- "BC Booklook"<br>
