I have Rape-Colored Skin

46. The author, Caroline Randall Williams, is quite an extraordinary and talented young woman. She is a

poet, scholar, educator, and cookbook author, so far. She wrote a book of poetry called Lucy Negro Redux, based on the premise that Shakespeare's mysterious muse "the dark lady" was the proud Black madame of a London bordello, an actual historical person and a contemporary of Shakespeare. The Nashville Ballet took the book and made it into a wonderful ballet, set to a score by Rhiannon Giddens, a couple of seasons ago. Caroline comes from a literary family (her great-grandfather was Arna Bontemps of Harlem Renaissance fame) and her mother, Alice Randall, made many a head explode several years ago when she published a satirical retelling of the Gone With the Wind story called The Wind Done Gone:

She is truly gifted and the essay linked in the OP is searing and an invaluable contribution to the national conversation at this moment in time. Thanks for posting it here!
