To read the Sacred in Black global literatures which include African, Caribbean, and North American texts we must draw upon Indigenous epistemologies and Black feminist theory which un/settle colonial logics and re/member African epistemologies of being and becoming. This study asks what modes, practices, and aesthetics of writing Black women draw upon to make legible imaginative projects that are steeped in the poetics of the Sacred. I undertake a close examination of select postcolonial novels, biomythographies, and Afrofuturist texts, through interlocutors in the discourses of Black studies, Indigenous Knowledge, African humanism, and Black Feminist studies. While examining the literary and cultural texts together reveals instances of imaginative, ontological, epistemological, and personal self-fashioning, the proposed reading allows for a definitive reconsideration and unsettling of Eurocentric frameworks. This study shows that the Sacred is important as a cyclic idea of being expressive of a relationality between the living, non-living/Ancestral/spirit, and unborn. The implication of the poetics of the Sacred is that critical analysis can be done across different geographies, genres, and temporalities.
