Cheryl Clarke's long-awaited fifth poetry collection travels the political and spiritual trails of her many commitments--to social justice, to women of color, to the LGBTQ community, and to the rage, love, and song that live in each reader. Says Nikky Finney, Cheryl has stayed the firebrand course, all while inventing new and wondrous paths. 2016 Judge Kimiko Hahn adds, Whether the tone is wily or grieving, wise or wise-ass, the reader is drawn closer by the page and into a world that may be Black, Lesbian, middle-aged, sister of a deceased Sgt.

African American Studies. LGBT Studies. LIVING AS A LESBIAN is Cheryl Clarke's paean to lesbian life. Filled with sounds from her childhood in Washington, DC, the riffs of jazz musicians, and bluesy incantations, LIVING AS A LESBIAN sings like a marimba, whispering i am, i am in love with you. LIVING AS A LESBIAN chronicles Clarke's years of literary and political activism with anger, passion, and determination. Clarke mourns the death of Kimako Baraka, sister of famous artist brother, celebrates the life of Indira Gandhi, and chronicles all kinds of disasters--natural and human-made. The world is large in LIVING AS A LESBIAN but also personal and intimate. These poems are closely observed and finely wrought with Clarke's characteristic charm and wit shining throughout. In 1986, LIVING AS A LESBIAN captured the vitality and volatility of the lesbian world; today, in a world both changed and unchanged, Clarke's poems continue to illuminate our lives and make new meanings for LIVING AS A LESBIAN.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53560816566545,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53560817189137,"sku":"CIN0932379125G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780932379122.jpg?v=1778792488"},{"product_id":"acts-of-resistance-book-cheryl-clarke-9781944981938","title":"Acts of Resistance","description":"These times need urgently Cheryl Clarke and her brilliant mind and words.
