Founded in the fall of 1991, Laurel Moon is Brandeis' oldest, national literary publication. Each issue we publish features original work from undergraduate students.
Black Femininity
The knowledge and wisdom to be seen
In the standpoints and views of the beautiful
black queen
Standpoints that are unique
Standpoints that are often considered mystique
But nonetheless allows the beautiful
Black queen to speak
Collective identities that have fought hard to
combat oppression
Due to the simplicity of their complexion
Which they take as a hard lesson
But which leads to ultimate progression.
