Sonia Sanchez. A reading from her on her birthday. In awe of the way she keeps her own rhythm instead of submitting to the pace of anyone else’s voice.
From Mirrors & Windows, October 24, 2001 with Sonia Sanchez and Lucille Clifton, sponsored by The New School and Cave Canem Foundation. Full video found on Cave Canem Foundation’s youtube (link in stories).
