Arc Dust

Arc Dust is a collection of short fiction by Alex Smith that blends Afrofuturist speculation, experimental language, and spoken-word intensity to explore identity, memory, and political histories.

Smith's background in performance and art infuses the prose with rhythmic cadences and vivid sensory detail, creating an immersive reading experience.
The collection includes 'Girls Who Look Through Glass' and other pieces that interrogate colonialism, grief, and the politics of culture through speculative frameworks.
