“Sometimes goldfinches one by one will drop From low hung branches; little space they stop; But sip, and twitter, and their feathers sleek; Then off at once, as in a wanton freak: Or perhaps, to show their black, and golden wings Pausing upon their yellow flutterings.” LittlesSometimesShowsBlackSpaceLowsWingsGoldenBranchesYellowFreakHungFeathersWantonFlutteringPausingGoldfinches Book:Poetry Manuscripts at Harvard Source: Poetry Manuscripts at Harvard
“Most writers stick to what they know. The black experience is our experience, so it's not that challenging for us. That's why sometimes you'll see writers that start off telling black stories, but later branch out into other material. People say they "sell out." No, they evolve as writers.” PeopleKnowsSometimesStoriesBlackChallengesMaterialsSellsSticksEvolveBranches Author:Lena Waithe
“The black and white lemur, the one that relaxes on that branch, they actually have day care, like kindergartens; where all the mothers come together and they put all the babies into this one nest and they let dad watch it while they go out and have food and have a good time and then they come back in a few hours. We've never seen that in other primates.” CareTogetherMotherBlackHoursWhiteWatchesBabyDadBranchesRelaxGood TimesBlack And WhiteNestsHaving A Good TimeKindergartenPrimatesDay Care Author:Patricia Wright
