Message from Lisbet:<\/p>\n

Hello all!<\/p>\n

After working on this event for almost a year; Sister Comrade: A Celebration of Audre Lorde and Pat Parker takes place this Saturday, November 3rd. By far, this is the largest event I’ve ever produced and I’m extremely proud of the lineup Haley and I have pulled together which includes Angela Davis, Melanie DeMore, Jewelle Gomez, Judy Grahn, Cherrie Moraga, Holly Near, Vicki Randle, Linda Tillery, Mary Watkins, Clare Coss, Blanche Wiesen Cook and more! Should be a once-in-a-lifetime evening…<\/p>\n

This event is almost sold out and for those who don’t have tickets yet, the remaining advance tix are being sold at Black Oak books in Berkeley; Laurel Bookstore in Oakland; and Modern Times bookstore in S.F. There will be a small block of tickets sold at the door but they’ll go fast so show up early! The box office opens at 5pm.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n

Have you seen Audre and Pat’s image gracing the streets of Oakland?\u00a0Look for them at Park Blvd. @ 580, Grand @ Harrison, MacArthur @ Lakeshore, Telegraph @ MacArthur (thank you Peggy Moore!)<\/p>\n

Poetry Should Ride the Bus
\nBy Ruth Forman<\/a><\/p>\n

poetry should hopscotch in a polka dot dress
\nwheel cartwheels
\nn hold your hand
\nwhen you walk past the yellow crack house<\/p>\n

poetry should wear bright red lipstick
\nn practice kisses in the mirror
\nfor all the fine young men with fades
\nshootin craps around the corner<\/p>\n

poetry should dress in fine plum linen suits
\nn not be so educated that it don’t stop in
\nevery now n then to sit on the porch
\nand talk about the comins and goins of the world<\/p>\n

poetry should ride the bus
\nin a fat woman’s Safeway bag
\nbetween the greens n chicken wings
\nto be served with tuesday’s dinner<\/p>\n

poetry should drop by a sweet potato pie
\nask about the grandchildren
\nn sit through a whole photo album
\non an orange plastic covered lazyboy with no place to go<\/p>\n

poetry should sing red revolution love songs
\nthat massage your scalp
\nand bring hope to your blood
\nwhen you think you’re too old to fight<\/p>\n

yeah
\npoetry should whisper electric blue magic
\nall the years of your life
\nnever forgettin to look you in the soul
\nevery once in a while
\nn smile<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
