“For those of us who write, it is necessary to scrutinize not only the truth of what we speak, but the truth of that language by which we speak it.”

–Audre Lorde, “Transformation of Silence into Language and Action”
Each of us is here now because in one way or another we share a commitment to language and to the power of language, and to the reclaiming of that Janguage which has been made to work against us. In the transformátion of silence into language and action, it is vitally necessary for each one of us to establish or examine her function in that transformation and to recognize her role as vital within that transformation. For those of us who write, it is necessary to scrutinize not only the truth of what we speak, but the truth of that language by, which we speak it. For others, it is to share and spread also those words that are meaningful to us. But primarily for us all, it is necessary to teach by living and speaking those truths which we believe and know beyond understanding. Because in this way alone we can survive, by taking part in a process of life that is creative and continuing, that is growth.

Good morning let’s read Lucille Clifton together ☀️☀️☀️☀️
untitled poem by Lucille Clifton surely i am able to write poems celebrating grass and how the blue in the sky can flow green or red and the waters lean against the chesapeake shore like a familiar, poems about nature and landscape surely but whenever i begin "the trees wave their knotted branches and…” why is there under that poem always an other poem?
