BodyLoad('s'); African American Literature: Toi Derricotte Derricotte, Toi (b. 1941), poet and educator. In Toi Derricotte's poetry, the taboo, the restricted, and the repressed figure prominently; they are often the catalysts that prompt her to write, to confess the painful. Often stylistically compared to so-called confessional poets like Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, Derricotte, in opting for candor over decorum, wants her “work to be a wedge into the world, as what is real and not what people want to hear.” This self-dubbed “white-appearing Black person,” reared as a Catholic in a black, working-class Detroit community, complicates the myth of monolithic blackness with poems that speak into consciousness obscure, unconventional black bodies. And in an academy whose poststructuralist theories often either depersonalize bodies with esoteric discourse or overemphasize them with hyperbolic identity politics, Toi Derricotte's poems brave the charged, murky depths of much current poetry, stamping the language with her own complex, quirky vision—a vision both concrete and abstract, both quotidian and phantasmagoric Toi Derricotte was born on 12 April 1941, the daughter of Antonia Baquet, a Creole from

I was going to add for some reason , but I know why. I love Toi Derricotte. She is the co-founder of Cave Canem, Home for Black Poetry, with Cornelius Eady (which is reason enough to love her), but she is also a writer who scares me. To say that she writes about shame is to say too little. (Why do I feel the need to write such short paragraphs?) Knowing her the way I do (which is to say, not well, but well enough), I knew that a book with a name like Tender was going to be extremely raw. I knew that everything I have read by Derricotte gets at a kind of tenderness, a vulnerability that breaks me down. Like, for example, this article . (In fact, she doesn't even have to be writing. She could just be looking at me with those serious, forgiving eyes and I could have to start crying.) What kind of thing could she have tackled in this book that would cause her to name it such a thing?
