Jacobs is the woman just above the \"X.\" <h2>Dear Reader:</h2> These excerpts—from a welcome by Michelle Lanier and Johnica Rivers and lyrical essay, \"Written by Herself,\" by Alexis Pauline Gumbs—first appeared in A Sojourn for Harriet Jacobs, a chapbook created by The Harriet Jacobs Project to commemorate their inaugural journeys. <h2>_______</h2> We called you in her name. You answered. We rang the bell across her first river, the Chowan. You answered its song. You retraced her journey from lands that remember her well: The waterfront of Philadelphia, the boroughs of New York City, Idlewild at Cornwall-on-Hudson, her reading room in Rochester, the Jacobs School of Alexandria, the freedom camps on the Savannah River, and her boarding houses in Cambridge and the District of Columbia. <h2>_______</h2> No longer hidden nor held, her journey continues through you. —M.

It is also this reader who must allow herself, myself, to be with the girl in peril, the mother in hiding, the outraged witness, the shuttered survivor. Or else I read in vain.\" —A. P. G.

[End Page 66] Self-portraiture is the way I navigate myself back to my body. For years, my body did not feel like it belonged to me until I started photographing myself in the vast landscapes of California. Running barefoot, jumping into frame with seconds to spare, and waiting for that sharp click of my film camera made me feel alive. Physically touching the earth revealed an undeniable connection between my spirit and that of Nature. The mystical wisdom of the Universe unraveled once I was among Earth's trees, mountains, deserts, and waters. In the most core-shaking moments of my life, I learned to return to these places to move beyond this physical form and ground my spiritual self. This routine would be the medicine I used during my mother's battle with cancer, the pandemic, and the uncertainty of the future in 2020. At the beginning of that tumultuous year, the crisp air of Maine was calling me. It was the same call I felt six summers before, and I knew this would be my summer of return. I was on a quest for a moment of safety, security, and stability. For three days, I secluded myself in Desert Island, Maine, where I would insert my body in the earth and rocks. It felt as if these cracks and openings were inviting me in, holding space for a body that was scared and overwhelmed by thoughts of the past, present, and future. My bare skin between those cold, smooth rocks rooted my anxious spirit. In Between taught me the power of stepping into the unknown space. In this series, my body serves as the bridge connecting two parts that used to be one, finding solace in the between phases of life. Witnessing nature's physical transformations served as a reminder that change is inevitable. Our body comes from the Earth and will eventually belong to the Earth again.

At the Buford Highway Farmers Market—dark corners, concrete floors, & flags winking in an industrial breeze. 2 Their bread aisle, which wrapped horizons, tender clouds of challah, kaiser, croissants; rambutan in the produce section, large custard pies, & a seafood market—perpetually wet with a salt-brine stink, but you dressed up for it: low pumps & pearls on your ears, silky as molars. 3 My sister, cousins, & I—all child-hollers wailed between rows—but you stayed posed, perfectly unbothered, pushed the buggy slow. & when the fish man saw you, sung your sugared name like a soprano—Heyyy Miss Alice—you'd duet, a laughter bubbling up somewhere among the snapper, the whole cold aisle whizzing a tune. 2 I shoulda noticed how lonely it'd be to stop going. After your GM Cadillac gnarled into scrap metal. After the accident. After that stranger blinking satanic in red light.

[End Page 119] 2 After that, your constant companion became boxed & bulky—a CRT TV propped on a cheap stand in the corner of your room: 3 Joyce Meyer, T. D. Jakes, Kenneth Copeland warbling. The only tunes you'd tend to, till the thin veiled hours shook you into prayer, then you'd turn to QVC. 4 Did you miss how shopping sounded in you? Is it why you bought a leopard-print jacket that didn't fit, made me promise to wear it, which I did—promise, flipping my fingers over the stiff denim, brown & bronze, dark spots flecked across the arms. 5 I loved it but didn't wear it in your lifetime. 3 The night you died, I sat in the dark outside my closet looking to where the jacket hung, waiting for sadness to talon from my throat. 2 I confess I couldn't keep my promise till my early twenties—my sister asked me to take her to a rock concert, & I agreed, though you wouldn't have liked their music, the two of us dressed 80s Madonna-chic, side ponies, mesh dresses & cheap pleather boots, & I decided then to wear the jacket, loved how it bridged the now with what was 3 before me—my sister & I, an act of curl-coiled joy in an emo crowd, sweat licking our brows. Perhaps this is why I wore that jacket—wanted to take you to places you would never know, wanted you close enough to see, finally, joy: feet leaping, arms leopard-stamped & reaching for sky.
