Music Review: Diamanda Galas: Guilty Guilty Guilty {Mute Records}
January 2009 (Noir Issue #42)

You could try. You could use words the critics use, like
"howling," "intense," and "primal." You could mention

...I couldn't ignore this blaring fact, and knew instantly it wouldn't be complete without publishing essays that gave greater voice to the interests of women of color; a platform from which to give these issues greater visibility and provide useful ways to help redefine old standards, and thus expand the movement. The book, I realized, had to demonstrate that feminism and women's issues, especially those of women of color, affect all of us. It had to address what feminists really look like and how varied we are.
