Autumn 2000 Toi Dericotte ON A PICTURE OF THE BUDDHIST MONK, PEMA CHODRON Do I want to look like this? Women with that playfulness in their faces, not childish, but elfin, magic, as if they have learned how to shift the world, slightly, and let it slide down the ice of its own melting . . . Women who have been lost but have not hidden; clear-skinned, wide-awake, their unmade selves not genderless, but not fixed. I don't know where their genitals are. If heart is the center, do they feel the tug of longing there?

Winter 2001 POETRYBAY FEATURE back to table of contents WRITING FROM A SAFE PLACE: Cave Canem's Fifth Annual Workshop/Retreat When Cave Canem announced recently that one of its participants had her manuscript selected as 1999 prize winner by Rita Dove, and was going to be published by Graywolf Press, it was just the latest success for an organizaiton that is dedicated to a widening range of support and networking activities for African-American poets. Natasha Trethewey, who Cave Canem organizers say was an accomplished young writer "just waiting to be discovered," was recognized when Rita Dove chose her manuscript "Domestic Work" from the 1999 submissions to the competition - the first in the organization's young history. And if that wasn't news enough, Trethewey followed up on that achievement with a Bunting Fellowship at Harvard. Major Jackson, 2000 prize winner for Leaving Saturn and a winter fellow at Provincetown, one of his poems from the manuscript appeared in the New Yorker in November 2000.

WE AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET! by Toi Derricotte Page 1 I hope I can convey the spirit I feel. I hope I can convey the spirit I feel of cordiality about what we're sharing. This couldn't have happened twenty years ago. Ruth Stone said that we're on the threshold of an enormous explosion of women writers"Get out of the way everyone!" So as wonderful as this gathering of women poets offering tributes to Emily Dickinson is, we ain't seen nothing yet! I'd like to share some of my favorite Emily Dickinson poems. I'm not an Emily Dickinson scholar, but I have loved her for many, many years, for many reasons. One of the reasons is because of her great courage to look at thingsthe most terrifying, the most beautifulwithout flinching: It was not Death, for I stood up, And all the Dead, lie down - It was not Night, for all the Bells Put out their Tongues, for Noon. It was not Frost, for on my Flesh I felt Siroccos - crawl - Nor Fire - for just my Marble feet Could keep a Chancel, cool - And yet, it tasted, like them all

32. Titanic Operas: Toi Derricotte WE AIN T SEEN NOTHING YET! by toi derricotte Page 2. This woman appreciatedbeautybeauty in nature and in language. No matter what http://www.emilydickinson.org/titanic/derricotte2.html

WE AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET! by Toi Derricotte Page 2 This woman appreciated beautybeauty in nature and in language. No matter what she's talking about, her language is pure beauty. Her face was in a bed of hair, Like flowers in a plot - Her hand was whiter than the sperm That feeds the sacred light. Her tongue more tender than the tune That totters in the leaves - Who hears may be incredulous, Who witnesses, believes. (JP 1722) We're certainly writing here to do that, aren't we, to witness and believe. There was a little debate among usabout politics and poetry and how they are related, and what the politics of feminism has to do with Emily's work. Obviously there's a lot to be said from various points of view, how we feel about this. I wish we could meet, break into groups, and everybody talk about politics, poetry, and Emily Dickinson, about whether or not she chose to be a private poet. I found this poem, it's an interesting poem, in which she says this: I took my Power in my Hand - And went against the World - 'Twas not so much as David - had - But I - was twice as bold - I aimed my Pebble - but Myself Was all the one that fell - Was it Goliath - was too large - Or was myself - too small?
