Welcome to Part Three of the Knell of Poetry Collection. We are exploring how we use language for liberation. And asking, "What strategies are writers using to topple the colonizer’s tongue?" During Part Three, we invite some of our R-F/C comrades to join our discussion! Today we are further pondering on language as a tool for liberation with Tobi Orisarayi, Katherine Henderson, and Karlee Raye!
