Josh Davis, my former student and dear friend and poet, sent me this report from a recent Ani DiFranco concert in Saratoga, CA:
“Toward the end of the show and between songs, Ani read a new poem. Here are the lines I remember:
Give the witches back their brooms
Give the weavers back their looms……
Women, you must bear the terror
of the pain we’ve been forbidding
with a force that isn’t kidding
when it rushes back unbidden.”
Josh also says that Ani said she is reading The Alphabet Versus the Goddess–a great and important book!
