Audre Lorde Knows What I Mean - 2021 in Review: A Poetry Collection

A companion piece to Summer 2020, here is a Goetterdammerung of humanity’s fate pitted against current political shiftiness, overt repression of minorities, and denialist environmental policies, this cycle of poetry alternates like current being born on the spot, coursing through the three themes as if along paths set by invisible magnetic poles. Here we encounter AC Benus becoming what Stefan Zweig called the primal poet - one able to create verse that was emotive because it was born of passion, emotive because it longed to generate passion in others.
