On my shelf is a 2018 anthology entitled Women of Resistance: Poems for a New Feminism and, in its Table of Contents, I am particularly drawn to the title that includes a prime number: "If 2017 was a poem title" by Mahogany L. Browne. Here is a provocative stanza from that poem:
A Math Problem
If 1 woman got a 7 Mac 11
& 2 heaters for the beemer
How many Congress seats will NRA lose?
How many votes will it take for a sexual predator
to lift the White House off her feet?
For more by this poet, here is a link to Black Girl Magic: a Poem by Mahogany L. Browne (Roaring Book Press, 2018).
