The Difficult Miracle (where June Jordan meets Phillis Wheatley)
This is part of a series of collages and poems by Alexis Pauline Gumbs. See the rest of the seires at The Listening Project: A Poetics of Relation.
We are a national network of women of the African Diaspora who do academic and/or community-based teaching, research, and organizing based on our education in women's studies.
