My first Audre Lorde apart from the odd poem or extract in an anthology: a bilingual poetry collection newly-acquired by my library 😃 Clearly a labour of love: the poems were translated by a collective.

Jan. 15: Now That I Am Forever With Child - "I bore you one morning just before spring / My head rang like a fiery piston / my legs were towers between which / a New World was passing." I love Lorde's play on the title and feel that this is a poem of simple but profound Truth: once a mother, always a mother. ?#LitsyPoetry365
