Links and Poetry

Earlier today ciderpress posted the first Asian Women's Carnival with links to lots and lots of great posts, including deepad's new poem The Indian Woman.

Here is a video of another poem on a similar subject (how stereotypes objectify women of color) by the Palestinian American poet Suheir Hammad. It's called "exotic" and you can read the text here.
