I tried to go further and started drowning in the unnecessarily convoluted and academic/poetic sentence construction.
It would be nice to *immediately follow up the Lorde quote with the statement that this is intended to be a continuation of This Bridge Called my Back instead of burying it at the end, since you really need that context for the rest of it to make sense, and many people won't have it, given that the original was published in the early 80s, is out-of-print, and not that easy to find.
But yeah, the title alone is just wrong. I mean, you *walk* on bridges. Radical mothering is stomping on the baby? Bleah.
