A Guardian and Lit Hub most anticipated book of 2024An exhilarating biography of the iconic poet, essayist and activist Audre Lorde Read these chapters like a collection of poems that speak in chorus in all directions. Understand each word as an opportunity for Audre’s fierce love, which is the same love that birthed the volcanoes and split the continents, to reach you, wherever you are.Audre Lorde was a survivor: of childhood disability injustice, of her best friend’s suicide, of the atomic age. She was a college activist against nuclear arms. A mother who knew poetry could help her children survive a racist world. And, ultimately, a cancer survivor, who understood the war going on within her cells was connected to the struggle against oppression taking place all around her.This stunning new account of Lorde’s life and work illuminates how, for Lorde, survival was not simply about getting through, or about resilience. It was about how to live on, and with, a planet in transformation. Lorde’s commitment to justice was intimately connected to her deep engagement with the natural world; with the planetary dynamics of geology, meteorology, and biology. For Lorde, ecological images are not simply metaphors but rather literal guides to how to be on earth, and how to live fully as a Black feminist lesbian warrior poet.In Survival Is a Promise, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, the first researcher to explore the full depths of Lorde’s manuscript archives, illuminates the eternal life of Audre Lorde. Her life and work swell to become a cosmic force, showing us the grand possibility of life together on earth. - Häftad, Engelska, 2025

A Time Must-Read Book of the YearA Publishers Weekly Top Ten Book of the Year Winner of the Judy Grahn Award for Lesbian NonfictionA bold, innovative biography that offers a new understanding of the life, work, and enduring impact of Audre Lorde. We remember Audre Lorde as an iconic writer, a quotable teacher whose words and face grace T-shirts, nonprofit annual reports, and campus diversity-center walls. But even those who are inspired by Lorde’s teachings on “the creative power of difference” may be missing something fundamental about her life and work, and what they can mean for us today. Lorde’s understanding of survival was not simply about getting through to the other side of oppression or being resilient in the face of cancer. It was about the total stakes of what it means to be in relationship with a planet in transformation. Possibly the focus on Lorde’s quotable essays, to the neglect of her complex poems, has led us to ignore her deep engagement with the natural world, the planetary dynamics of geology, meteorology, and biology. For her, ecological images are not simply metaphors but rather literal guides to how to be of earth on earth, and how to survive—to live the ethics that a Black feminist lesbian warrior poetics demands. In Survival Is a Promise, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, the first researcher to explore the full depths of Lorde’s manuscript archives, illuminates the eternal life of Lorde. Her life and work become more than a sound bite; they become a cosmic force, teaching us the grand contingency of life together on earth.

In Spill, self-described queer Black troublemaker and Black feminist love evangelist Alexis Pauline Gumbs presents a commanding collection of scenes depicting fugitive Black women and girls seeking freedom from gendered violence and racism. In this poetic work inspired by Hortense Spillers, Gumbs offers an alternative approach to Black feminist literary criticism, historiography, and the interactive practice of relating to the words of Black feminist thinkers. Gumbs not only speaks to the spiritual, bodily, and otherworldly experience of Black women but also allows readers to imagine new possibilities for poetry as a portal for understanding and deepening feminist theory. - Häftad, Engelska, 2016

Following the innovative collection Spill, Alexis Pauline Gumbs's M Archive-the second book in a planned experimental triptych-is a series of poetic artifacts that speculatively documents the persistence of Black life following a worldwide cataclysm. Engaging with the work of the foundational Black feminist theorist M. Jacqui Alexander, and following the trajectory of Gumbs's acclaimed visionary fiction short story “Evidence,” M Archive is told from the perspective of a future researcher who uncovers evidence of the conditions of late capitalism, antiblackness, and environmental crisis while examining possibilities of being that exceed the human. By exploring how Black feminist theory is already after the end of the world, Gumbs reinscribes the possibilities and potentials of scholarship while demonstrating the impossibility of demarcating the lines between art, science, spirit, scholarship, and politics. - Häftad, Engelska, 2018

Hortense Spillers is one of the most important literary critics and Black feminist scholars of the last fifty years. Her 1987 scholarly article “Mama’s Baby, Papa’s Maybe: An American Grammar Book” is one of the most-cited essays in African American literary studies.Edited by Margo Natalie Crawford and C. Riley Snorton, The Flesh of the Matter: A Critical Forum on Hortense Spillers is the first collection to take up directly how Spillers’s writing on literature, culture, and theory have been signal posts to the varied and universal threads of Black thought, as well as countless other areas of the academy. Interspersed with archival fragments from Spillers’s papers kept at the Pembroke Center for Feminist Thought at Brown University, the fourteen essays in this collection demonstrate a fidelity to the ways of reading Spillers has taught us, the nomenclature of enslavement keyed into the American lexicon, and the ways that history permeates our cultural boundaries today. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

The concluding volume in a poetic trilogy, Alexis Pauline Gumbs's Dub: Finding Ceremony takes inspiration from theorist Sylvia Wynter, dub poetry, and ocean life to offer a catalog of possible methods for remembering, healing, listening, and living otherwise. In these prose poems, Gumbs channels the voices of her ancestors, including whales, coral, and oceanic bacteria, to tell stories of diaspora, indigeneity, migration, blackness, genius, mothering, grief, and harm. Tracing the origins of colonialism, genocide, and slavery as they converge in Black feminist practice, Gumbs explores the potential for the poetic and narrative undoing of the knowledge that underpins the concept of Western humanity. Throughout, she reminds us that dominant modes of being human and the oppression those modes create can be challenged, and that it is possible to make ourselves and our planet anew. - Häftad, Engelska, 2020

In a roving, shimmering conversation that took place in May 2021, scholar, poet, and activist Alexis Pauline Gumbs and playwright, songwriter, performance artist, and educator Daniel Alexander Jones discuss love as a foundational principle of artistic practice and societal change. Reflecting on Love Like Light, Daniel Alexander Jones's collection of seven plays and performance texts (published by 53rd State in July 2021), DAJ and APG illuminate the ways in which an attention to care, community, nuance, invitation, perceptual particularities, and embodied conditions can resist the profoundly extractive context in which life is lived and art is made. As they discuss the work of Audre Lorde, Billie Holiday, Beah Richards, Bayard Rustin, and Malcolm X, as well as that of DAJ's grandma Daisy Mae and APG's grandmother, aunt, and niece, DAJ and APG propose that love, like light, suffuses everything, and that love, like light, creates a field in which transformation, justice, healing, and radical beauty are not just possible—they are already, now. - LjudbokEngelska, 2024

Das Gewässer, in dem das Ertrinken droht, ist der Atlantik, über den Millionen versklavter Afrikaner*innen nach Nordamerika verschleppt wurden. Und es ist das Erbe dieser kollektiven Erfahrung.Alexis Pauline Gumbs spricht von denjenigen, die ertranken - buchstäblich und metaphorisch -, denjenigen, die sagten »I can''t breathe«, und denjenigen, die trotz allem weiteratmeten. Auch heute weiteratmen, nichtertrinken.Sie lädt dazu ein, eine neue Art des Atmens zu erlernen. Als Mentor*innen stellt sie uns Wale, Delfine, Robben, Walrosse und Seekühe vor. Denn wer könnte mehr über das Nichtertrinken wissen? In neunzehn Lektionen verwebt Alexis Pauline Gumbs auf poetische Weise naturwissenschaftliche Beobachtungen mit Ansätzen und Erkenntnissen des Black Feminism.Sie fragt sich, wie die Echoortung unser Verständnis von visionärem Handeln beeinflussen kann, und betrachtet die Methoden, mit denen sich Menschen und Meeressäuger zunehmend bedrohlichen Umständen anpassen - oder anpassen könnten.Leiten lässt sich Gumbs von der Liebe und der Bewunderung für unsere aquatischen Verwandten, die es ihr erlauben, ihnen auf Augenhöhe zu begegnen und von ihnen zu lernen.- E-bokPDF, Tyska, 2023

Der blaue Planet müsste eigentlich ''Wasser'' heißen und nicht ''Erde'', ist er doch zu zwei Dritteln von diesem Element bedeckt. Zudem beinhaltet der ozeanische Raum etwa 90 % des gesamten Biosphärenvolumens. So hat Steve Mentz kürzlich gefordert, die derzeitige Epoche nicht mehr Anthropozän, sondern wahlweise "Okeanocene", "Aquacene", "Thalassocene" oder einfach "Ozean" zu nennen. ''Ozean'' würde demnach sowohl den gegenwärtigen planetarischen Ort als auch die gegenwärtige planetarische Zeit bezeichnen.In der Wissenschaftslandschaft bilden sich seit einigen Jahren die Blue Humanities heraus – in akademischen Spielarten Critical Ocean Studies, Hydro-Criticism, Tidalectics oder Hydrofeminism –, die als neue, interdisziplinäre Forschungsrichtungen die Weltmeere in den Blick nehmen. Das geschieht allerdings meist ohne in spezifischer Weise die maritimen Tiere zu betrachten.Dabei liegt im Wasser nicht nur der Ursprung des tierlichen Lebens, sondern es wimmelt in jedem Tropfen Meerwasser nur so von animalen Entitäten und Potenzialitäten. Ozeane sind daher immer sympoietische Ökosysteme für tierliche und nicht-tierliche Ko-Existenzen und Ko-Kreationen und können weder auf ihre Funktionen als Klimastabilisatoren, CO2-Lager, Sauerstoff- und Nahrungsmittelproduzenten noch als Bühne für rein menschliche Dramen von beispielsweise Schiffbruch, imperialer Eroberung und weltumspannendem Handel reduziert werden.Diese Ausgabe von Tierstudien ist deshalb ganz den Tieren gewidmet, denen der Ozean Lebensraum ist, und stellt einen ersten Versuch tiersensibler Blue Humanities dar. Es stehen Wale, Haie, Oktopoden, Hummer, Austern, Korallen, Aale, Störe und Albatrosse im Fokus der wissenschaftlichen und künstlerischen Beiträge. Dabei geht es um fluide Naturecultures, die Biodiversität der Meere, Walgesang, Haifischbecken, die Plastikverschmutzung der Ozeane, Korallensterben, Hochseefischerei, feministische Kinship-Verhältnisse mit Meeressäugern, das aquatisch Imaginäre und die Denkfigur des Tentakulären. Sie beleuchten u.a., wie Kunst, Film, Literatur, Computerspiel und Musik für den Schutz der Meere und ihrer Bewohner*innen sensibilisieren.Mit wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen von Katahrina Alsen, Raj Sekhar Aich / Tabea Weber, Martin Bartelmus, Robert Bauernfeind, Andrea Diederichs, Christina Gruber, Thomas Hawranke / Tabea Weber, Christian Hoiß, Nina Schüchter und Martin Ullrich.Mit künstlerischen und essayistischen Beiträgen von Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Sarah Heuzeroth, Courtney Mattison, Nicole Schuck und Shimabuku. - Häftad, Engelska, 2021
