Steampunk Paper Doll Journal - Spread 22 - Poetry

"Poetry is the way we help give name to the nameless so it can be thought.
We can train ourselves to respect our feelings and to transpose them into a language so that they can be shared.  And where the language does not yet exist, it is our poetry which helps to fashion it.
Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before."
- Audre Lorde (from 'Sister Outsider)(1934-1992) (American writer, poet, feminist, womanist, librarian, and civil rights activist.)
