So glad to have collaborated on this piece with you, @C. Elyse! Audre Lorde is so inspiring—can't wait to share my version of a biomythography w/y'all.

A white, former lover gave me a copy of "Zami: A New Spelling of My Name," introducing me to Audre Lorde's writing. Well, he was useful for something. Also, thank you for giving me language to what I'm trying to create -- "biomythography." Beautiful, as always.
This: “It's difficult to talk about double messages without having a twin tongue.” Oh yes. And we develop twin tongues.
Just occurred to me that a teacher could make use of this weekly stack to teach their entire English Lit. class... And then it occurred to me that you could just do it. Live on Substack!
