No Language Is Neutral

1998Dionne Brand

3.8/5

I have come to know something simple. Each sentence realised or dreamed jumps like a pulse with history and takes a side. What I say in any language is told in faultless knowledge of skin, in drunkenness and weeping, told as a woman without matches or tinder, not in words and in words and in words learned by heart, told in secret and not in secret, and listen, does not burn out or waste and is plenty and pitiless and loves.I came to hear, or more like overhear, of Brand through a conversation some friends were having and she is more wonderful than their words praised her to be. Such words, such words. Brilliant, sparkling words and the journeys they led me to. Wonderful.
