“During COVID, we've all been kept out of things. Gorman's poem eloquently lists many of the things we've been kept out of. Then she wrote - "Kept out of, kept in, kept from, kept behind, kept below, kept down. Kept without life. Some were asked to walk a fraction of our exclusion for a year and it almost destroyed all they thought they were. Yet here we are. Still Walking. Still kept. To be kept to the edges of existence is the inheritance of the marginalized.”
