APP Professor Kathy Engel launched her new book, “Dear Inheritors” on Monday June 10th at the Lower East Side Girls Club.
Alexis Pauline Gumbs writes of the collection, “Audre Lorde once asked ‘where is true history written, except in the poems?’ In Dear Inheritors we experience the interconnected love-scale of a being committed to beauty in the form of freedom for all oppressed people, accountability in the form of interspecies presence, and grace in the form of ongoing witness, whether witnessing a mimosa tree in the yard, a loved one, the ebbs and flows of a movement or the porous self, transformed by all of it. This book will help you remember how to be here, lovingly, curiously inside whichever indescribable moment you face.”
