Co-edited by trailblazing literary figures Makeda Silvera and Stephanie Martin, the collection uses the metaphor of the sweet, resilient sapodilla fruit to anchor verses that navigate the intersections of colonial history, systemic erasure, and the liberating power of love between women. Featuring both established and emerging poets from diverse Black, Indigenous, Asian, and mixed-heritage backgrounds, this collection serves as a vital historical and emotional archive of queer women of color reclamation and creative resistance.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n<h2><\/h2>\r\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\r\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n .TFtable<br \/> .TFtable td<br \/> \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/<br \/> .TFtable td:nth-child(2)<br \/><\/style>\r\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>ISBN: <\/strong>9781896705033<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Subtitle: <\/strong>The Sister Vision Book Of Lesbian Poetry<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Genre: <\/strong>Poetry; Black Interest<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Subject(s): <\/strong>Canadian Poetry; Canadian Poetry &#8211; Women Authors; Erotic Poetry, Canadian; Lesbian Erotic Poetry, Canadian; Lesbians &#8211; Poetry; Lesbians&apos; writings, Canadian<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Publication Date: <\/strong>2000<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Original Publication Date: <\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Publisher: <\/strong>Sister Vision<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Language: <\/strong>English<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Format: <\/strong>Paperback<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Pages: <\/strong>61<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Rating: <\/strong> <\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Notes: <\/strong>Sapodilla: The Sister Vision Book of Lesbian Poetry (2000), edited by authors and publishers Makeda Silvera and Stephanie Martin, is a definitive non-fiction literary anthology.
