Today marks the beginning of Black History Month, and an excellent time to revisit classic Black literature. Today, we'd like to recommend The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde, the prolific and gifted writer, activist, and academic. consort.library.denison.edu:…
The book cover of The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde's black background transitions to purple and pink on the side. Over it, one of her poems is printed. There are so many roots to the tree of anger that sometimes the branches shatter before they bear. Sitting in Nedicks the women rally before they march discussing the problematic girls they hire to make them free. An almost white counterman passes a waiting brother to serve them first and the ladies neither notice nor reject the slighter pleasure of their slavery. But I who am bound by my mirror as well as my bed see causes in colour as well as sex and sit here wondering which me will survive all these liberations -Audre Lorde, "Who Said It Was Simple" 1973

It's beginning to feel a lot like... finals? The semester is almost over, and to make sure you have a place to study, the main library is keeping its doors open even longer. Our 24/7 space will remain open as well, making sure you always have a place to work -- or relax!

Happy birthday, bell hooks. Gone too soon, but still essential reading.
A picture of two bell hooks books sit on a desk: "Killing Rage: Ending Racism" and "Wounds of Passion: A Writing Life." A transparent black text box covers 5 more books, and contains a quote: "Beloved community is formed not by the eradication of difference but by its affirmation, by each of us claiming the identities and cultural legacies that shape who we are and how we live in the world. - bell hooks from Killing Rage"
