I'm Nobody! Who are you? by Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886 "Emily Dickinson is considered one of the most famous poets in the history of American literature. Though socially shy, she was outspoken and emotional in her lyric poetry (short poems with one speaker who expresses thought and feeling), defying the nineteenth-century expectation that women were to be demure and obedient to men. Her honest and uninhibited writing made her an early feminist voice, even as she maintained an outward appearance of submissiveness. Dickinson’s seclusion allowed her to focus on developing her poetry. Her poems addressed emotional and psychological states such as loneliness, pain, happiness, and ecstasy; death, often personified; religion and morality; as well as love and love lost." - source Efrat Ben Zur - I'm Nobody Efrat Ben Zur is an Israeli singer and actress who made the album  "Robin"  in which she sings Emily Dickinson's poems!

Riot Grrrl #33 12/10/15 playlist link stream WRGP A special playlist in honor of Emily Dickinson (born December 10, 1830) This episode was a lot of fun to put together in honor of Emily Dickinson's birthday. There were so many songs I wanted to play, but here are the songs and poems that I think are quintessential of Emily Dickinson's poems. My favorite poem is  I'm Nobody  and I think Efrat Ben Zur sings it beautifully! I also love Girlpool and the song "Emily" and so this was a great match. I also enjoyed including different women reading her poems and even female artists that cover her poems. I also wanted to create an aura of isolation because she almost never left her house and is famous for always staying in. Despite this, she made over 1,000 poems in her lifetime that are still being read and studied almost two centuries later. She is a true riot grrrl for her feminist themes and autonomy of her own life. Laurie Anderson – The Lake – I...

GWENDOLYN BROOKS (June 7, 1917 – December 2, 2000) The first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize, Brooks is considered a major poet of the twentieth century. She is known for her sensitive representations of black urban life and for combining African American vernacular speech with the poetic conventions of traditional verse. -  source we real cool by gwendolyn brooks We real cool.

Gloria Steinem The women's movement is not the only one we need to support: “This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy and visible differences have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labor on which this system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are really talking about humanism."

El soñó que iba con los pies descalzos solo iba caminando libre por ahí Imagino y creo su realidad aquí cerquita del mar y fue feliz Vamos a vivir en una casita frente al mar, cuando sea de noche miraremos las estrellas, vamos a intentar hacer nuestros sueños realidad y vivir Y ser feliz  Y ser feliz  Y ser feliz  Es solo lo que siento  Es solo un momento  Es solo lo que siento  Es solo un momento  Es solo  Es solo  Ella lo escribió sobre la arena de la playa  Y se fue volando por el mundo sin parar  Cuando fue encontrando en su interior lo que buscaba  Cerca a mi felicidad  Vamos a vivir en una casita frente al mar, cuando sea de noche miraremos las estrellas, vamos a intentar hacer nuestros sueños realidad y vivir  Y ser feliz  Y ser feliz  Y ser feliz  Es solo lo que siento  Es solo un momento  Es solo lo que siento  Es so...
