melanatedreader.bsky.social @melanatedreader.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Rereading Sula at 39 is definitely a move. If you are exploring the work of Toni Morrison… or any classic… I would say a reread may be necessary especially if you read it 10-15 years removed. What’s the last book you reread at a different age and your eyes opened a little more in time?

"I don't think I'm allowed to kill something because I am frightened." —Nikki Giovanni 💔 #poem #poems #poetry

I killed a spider
Not a murderous brown recluse
Nor even a black widow
And if the truth were told this
Was only a small spider
Sort of papery spider
Who should have run
When I picked up the book
But she didn't
And she scared me
And I smashed her

I don't think
I'm allowed

To kill something

Because I am

Frightened.

To our Nikki Rosa… I met Soror Nikki for a 3rd time in 2019… and I was just as starstruck as the first time I met her… She was ours and we hers… May she rest and find favor because she gave us so much and we could never repay her in this lifetime. 💔🐘

#BlackBooksky please hold me down when my book comes out (it also might be made into a movie if me and my literary agent are successful in these meetings). But I care solely about the book. I never thought I’d write a book. It is truly my love letter and battle cry for women.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
