First published in 1982 by Clarke, Narratives: Poems in the Tradition of Black Women is a vital part of lesbian-feminist print culture. During the 1970s and 1980s, lesbian-feminists created and nurtured a vibrant community of writers, poets, publishers, artists and activists. Lesbian-feminists imagined a better world and worked to eliminate of sexism, racism, homophobia, imperialism, and other forms of social, political, and economic oppression. Women learned skills in publishing, editing, typesetting, printing, and distribution, as tools to express their transformative visions. —Julie R Enszer

it is passing strange to be in the company
of black women
and be the only one who does not worry about
not being with a man
