The function of a poet is to make revolution irresistable
In the early 1990s, Audre Lorde, Toni Cade Bambara, and June Jordan were having conversations about the purpose and responsibilities of being a poet, culture worker, or artist.
"June Jordan once said something which is just wonderful. I'm paraphrasing her-that her function as a poet was to make revolution irresistible. Well o.k., that is the function of us all, as creative artists, to make the truth, as we see it irresistible."
--Audre Lorde
“As a culture worker who belongs to an oppressed people my job is to make revolution irresistible.”
--Toni Cade Bambara
