Status Updates From Pesmi

“If it Were Possible” has been my favorite proclamation of love and devotion since reading it as a tween #online. And then Solange used it as interlude on When I Get Home, my fucking goat. But this is my first time reading the full collection (MIB a reread). So like yes when I got to it I gasped and then cried. Also really moved by “My Lady Ain’t a Lady” and “Sitting Here”. NEED to know her Venus sign

I needed a comfort read, so I picked this up. Pat Parker is my very favorite poet to ever live 💗

Thank you to sinister wisdom for my copy!!

O poema "Womanslaughter" é arrepiante e revoltante, não só por partir do assassinato da irmã da autora, mas por ser uma realidade demasiado presente! "I will come with my many sisters and decorate the streets with the innards of those brothers in womenslaughter. No more, can I dull my rage in alcohol & deference to men's courts. I will come to my sisters, not dutiful, I will come strong."

Que descoberta fantástica, estou arrebatada. A sua poesia é tão forte, tão boa!
