Controversial take?
I think I like Audre Lordes long form essays more than her poetry.

I wanna like her work the way yall love her.

I'm tryina rectify this gap by consistently reading her poetry.

Today, "The Black Unicorn" came in and I read 'Cope.'

This is why ppl fux w/ her.
Book cover titled Black Unicorn. Poems. Audre Lorde. Mosaic tiles, 3 rows triangles line horizontally across the top. One set is white, below red, the final line is yellow. At the bottom are archs filled with rows of rectangles. Black text on off-white page. Three stars dot the top corner above the word COPING It has rained for five days running the world is a round puddle of sunless water where small islands are only beginning to cope a young boy in my garden is bailing out water from his flower patch when I ask him why he tells me young seeds that have not seen sun forget and drown easily.

"A Renaissance of Our Own: A Memoir & Manifesto on Reimagining" by Rachel E Cargle

White text on black background: In the African American tradi- tion, we've been expansive in our definition of family ever since we were stolen and en- slaved by this country. Our en- tire concept of family had to be rearranged to make space for fictive kin, family members created by circumstances- circumstances like slave own- ers selling children away from their mothers and husbands from their wives-rather than blood. Queer, immigrant, and other marginalized people have always had to join to- gether to create family when they weren't accepted into what we have traditionally un- derstood "family" to be

"We the Gathered Heat," Choi, Phi, Revilla, Siagatonu

"Maybe one way we breathe together is through a commitment to pronouncing each other's names and stories."

Franny
Book cover, "We the Gathered Heat: Asian American and Pacific Islander Poetry, Performance, and Spoken Word" Edited by Franny Choi, Bao aphi, Noʻu Revilla, and Terisa Siagatonu. Peach square background, symmetrical graphics. Black incense sticks planted on either side smoke into snakes pointed at a blue third eye. Two black eyes look out on either side of the snakes. Two black circle celestial scenes with blue stars are placed on either side of the eyes. A red sun setting in waves connects the two celestial spaces. In the center, from head to shoulders, a long hair being beams down into plants. Blue color beams into foliage. Two peach eyes are at the base of each plant stem. And orange orb between blue waves caps the bottom edge of the book cover.
