Maud Sulter

-
Standard Name: Sulter, Maud
Birth Name: Maud Sulter
MS was a Black British poet, journalist, artist and political activist; she often produced visual and written works in linked pairs. In her poetry, her photographs, her artworks, and her essays, novel, and play, she continued to challenge imprisoning labels of colour and gender, to celebrate love and desire, and to expose oppressions which are perpetrated in private. As critic Lucinda Roy comments, in Sulter's work the Body Personal is not a thing distinct from the Body Politic.

Her poetry and prose appeared in many journals and anthologies, and she gave numerous readings and seminars internationally.
