Gay & Lesbian > Multicultural Aspects

Ms. Read the Plight of A Poet is a no-nonsense compilation of poetry written by Glori Morris-Carter aka Ladi Glori. In utter fearlessness, she states her position with society as a woman, lesbian, a lover, entrepreneur, poet and a person of strength. The unapologetic language in each verse tickles the funny bone, while challenging conventionalism and exposing the world to the bravery of speaking your truth. Ladi Glori's mission is to maximize truth and minimize shame. And she does this with unparalleled enthusiasm.

With Visionary Intent is a poetry chapbook inspired by Afro-Futurism and dipped in cynicism. The poems in this chapbook explore the apparent contradiction of being Black in America and being Happy, all flavored by ruminations about gender, sexuality, autonomy of the body, and the very nature of humanity itself. This chapbook is, as all poetry should be, a poet's examination and diagnosis of the world around them, and also, perhaps, a mirror in which most people can see themselves reflected. The hope is that it can strike a chord in people and maybe produce meaningful change in someone's life.
