Dark testament
Synopsis
This collection brings back into print Pauli Murray's only poetry work, offering a crucial insight into her identity as an activist and a spiritual individual. The poems confront the harsh realities of slavery and Jim Crow, while simultaneously envisioning a future of racial justice and human connection. Murray used poetry as a means to deeply experience and understand vulnerability and resilience, and to transform perception and disturbance into a structured form.
