In the United States claiming an education often seems far-fetched. Education is not free and not for everyone‚ or is it? Claiming an education sounds a lot like taking what’s rightfully yours.

From poems about her exploration of her own sexuality and the deep blue sea‚ this Sapphic woman created groundbreaking literature that still makes a splash today
