Thank you @adalimonwriter current US Poet Laureate for creating this work that highlights so many poets who live that divine remembering, and who also, in many cases remember that the nation-state is not our natural form.

It’s here! So grateful to @rnldcmings and Nalini Mohabir for including me in this brilliant bold collection of writing inspired by the 1968 protest against racism against Caribbean students...

This is a book of daughtering. Faith Holsaert shows us intimately what it means to be a daughter of multiple movements, mothers, monsters, and systems of harm. She shows us how mothering brings daughtering back into its queerest, most transformative potential.

Societies like ours defuse social protest by a combination of repression and co-optation. Deep convictions are repackaged as matters of style. Grants are bestowed and leaders are destroyed. A revolutionary upsurge becomes a career path. -Aurora Levins Morales MEDICINE STORIES

@loggins__ Glad everyone said Sula. And I would suggest Sister Love the collection of letters between Audre Lorde and Pat Parker along with their published poems about each other.
