History / Hemphill + Rivera
Essex Hemphill wrote in the teeth of a plague, when the men in pulpits called the dying deserved. Thirty-four years later a pastor recycles the same machinery. We kept reaching for each other anyway. The fear was theirs. The tenderness was ours.

Nothing had ever hit me quite like Andrea’s voice did that night.
Their poems packed so much fiery, tender truth. The way they wrote about love, pain, queerness, and survival was equal parts gentle and fierce. Political without losing intimacy, intimate without losing bite.

"Instead of Depression by Andrea Gibson
try calling it hibernation. Imagine the darkness is a cave in which you will be nurtured by doing absolutely nothing. Hibernating animals don't even dream. It's okay if you can't imagine spring. Sleep through the alarm of the world. Name your hopelessness a quiet hollow, a place you go to heal, a den you dug, Sweetheart, instead of a grave."
— Andrea Gibson: You Better Be Lightning, p. 32

The title — Love Is A Dangerous Word — underscores how radical it is to love within and across marginalized communities. The Trump administration is willing to do everything in its power to break this solidarity because it knows that love is, indeed, dangerous to its an authoritarian regime.

"Werewolf Avoidance by Nikki Giovanni
I've never "blogged" before so this is new territory for me I do poet though and that is always somewhere in the netherland I think poetry is employed by truth I think our job is to tell the truth as we see it don't you just hate a namby-pamby poem that goes all over the place saying nothing
Poets should be strong in our emotions and our words that might make us difficult to live with but I do believe easier to love Poet is garlic Not for everyone but for those who take it never get caught by werewolves"
— Nikki Giovanni: Chasing Utopia, p. 80

As a trans poet, I understand freedom comes not solely from visibility, but from creation—creating spaces where others can activate their own trans selves as well.
