I am writing to inform you all of the new documentary about Audre Lorde, from Germany, called Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984 -1992. It was produced and directed by Dr. Dagmar Schultz, who introduced Audre and her work to Germany, as well to alternative treatments that prolonged her life.
Shown all around the world, the film is available on DVD in the US and Europe. Please visit Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984 -1992 for details about purchasing this important film and spread the word! | |

Here, one meets a congregation of talented poets. I read almost all, and found them exceedingly rich and delightful. Some of the poems are magical. Others are sad and sometimes strangely beautiful. Some are laden with moving emotion, etc. But what the poems have in common is their ability to convey feelings, reflections, mood, etc. They make absorbing read. | |

I'm looking into black authors of famous Classical literature,& I was given to believe (And hope I'm correct in doing so) that Daniel Defoe was black. However, when I pulled up portraits of him, he appears to be white. What is the truth? Do I have him confused with someone else? If so, whom? Thank you in advance for your answer!

i like your website & the array of poems inherent.though i think a little 'diversification' would not hurt you.for one i know i would be delighted to see poems by wole soyinka,w.e.b du bois,chinua achebe etc.by the way i'm a published poet as well. | |

I would like to find poetry writing by James Weldon Johnson, one in particular, "The Judgement Day". I use to recite his poems when I was in high school.

IJUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I THINK IT AWSOME THAT YOU GUYS ARE KEEPING THE YOUNG MINDS INFORMED TO THEIR HISTORY. I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE GIVING ME TH OPPERTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MY ANCESTORS, REMINDING YOUNG BLACK MINDS LIKE MYSELF THAT THERE IS STILL GOOD THAT COMES FROM MY PEOPLE. I JOYFULLY ENDURE ALL THE INFORMATION SET FORTH BY THOSE BEFORE ME THAT HAVE PAVED THE WAY, AND I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR LEAVING THAT OPTION OPEN FOR MY GENERATION. AND THAT IS ALL, ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. PEACE.

Please accept and share this poem I wrote for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day
From American to American On this Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Me of European background- And I love him the same He’s still active for peace up there in heaven with God They’ve spirited me to write, risking me sounding odd! Will you take our word passion for your word soul for one day? You will be missing out nothing, for they’re one in the same! If you say no I will make one day be one year! If I am misunderstood, I will trade back with a tear. Then we’ll go out about town, in black and white dress The sharpest combination by far, fulfilling us best. Our arms linked we toast songs Flutes engraved in saxophone gold Our hearts dance to dark embodied wine Your passion, our soul Cheers high with glasses clear of previous color associations. Yet rich with prisms from the light above for our human nation. All of our arts combined passionately deep in our souls No separation, shared relation from Art’s culture our goal.

Poetry is a form of culture. Poems teach us in words we find entertaining. A poem can form an idealogy indifferent to the world we live in. | |

This site is a great resource that shows the wonderful contribution that black authors have made to literature/poetry. They are frequently overlooked on other mainstream poetry sites, e.g. poetry.com had (1) poem each of Langston Hughes & Maya Angelou, and most of the authors listed on this site were not represented at all. | |
