Black Life

0/5 ( ratings)

You are born and it is to a black life
Full of abuse and strange things . . .

In her second collection of poetry, Dorothea Lasky cries out beyond prophecy and confession, through to an even more powerful empathy. On the verge of becoming pure substance and sensation, Black Life is emotion recollected not in tranquility, but in radically affirming intensity.

I leave and I am a black life . . .
And I want to
Be what you made me to be
