This course will take as fundamental that black women present a radical method of thinking and living that centers those who are marginalized by race and gender-namely, black feminism. This mode of thinking arises unwaveringly from black women-black women who have a range of gendered expressions and statuses-and we will use essays, poems, multimedia, and music to explore black feminist knowledges. We will cover a wide array of tropes and themes that often emerge from this tradition: slavery, the intersection of race and gender, love and sex, black gender relations, queerness and transess, diaspora, masculinity, and more. Exploring these themes will permit students to sample the pressing points not only in a rich tradition but also still pervasive in their contemporary lives.

Out of the Dust by author Karen Hesse was published in 1997.

Out of the Dust is a verse novel that consists of a series of short poems from the point of view of first-person narrator Billie Jo Kelby, who lives on a farm in the Oklahoma Dust Bowl during the Great Depression. Out of the Dust is a work of historical fiction, drawing on factual details about a specific time period in history. The novel is also a coming-of-age story, following Billie Jo through a pivotal period in her life.

In "Talking Back to Emily Dickinson," the essay (originally a professional lecture) that gives the book its racy title, Pritchard identifies himself at the outset as a "non-Dickinsonian." His central question is one of value, just how much does Dickinson's achievement weigh, and "what kind of achievement it is anyway." He discovers correctly that "critics tend to talk for her by bringing out, usually at length, what it is she's implying" in her poems. The reason, he explains, is that her poems don't invite the analysis we give to other poets because there are not clear tonal indications in them and readers cherish her difficulty and uncertainty. More than 20 critics, this reviewer included, are invoked throughout the essay to make the point. Then, once again, Robert Frost is summoned to inform readers that clarity of tone is crucial: "Never if you can help it write down a sentence in which the voice will not know how to posture specially." At the end, two short poems are quoted where Pritchard, to a reader's delight, finds mischievous, "even wicked" expression that is, in his words, "exuberant" and "very satisfying." 2351a5e196
