“In honor of National Poetry month, espnW asked five poets to reflect on resistance, redefining feminism and the movement.”
1. My Struggle with Feminism is Black, by DéLana R.A. Dameron
2. Revolution, by Dr. DaMaris Hill”
Revolution ain’t a date in a history book
It’s an ivy that thorns
A lily that pricks. It stings
Like the splash of a copper colored girl
running in a skinned knee
ruining her Easter dress
Revolution is the taste of honey
and the revenge of the hive,
there is never enough time to watch
the swarms die. Revolution ain’t got sh—
to do with facts. It is all faith!”
Dr. DaMaris B. Hill is an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing and African American and Africana Studies at the University of Kentucky. Her scholarly research is interdisciplinary and examines the intersections between artistic criticisms, cultural studies, and digital humanities.”
