Narratives: poems in the tradition of black women, Clarke’s first book of poetry, is now out of print.  First self-published in 1982, then published and distributed by Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press in 1983. Copies are still in circulation.   The legendary poem, “Of Flaxie and Althea,” first appearing in Narratives, is still a black lesbian feminist staple of lesbian feminist communities everywhere.  The poems were performed from 1983 to 1985 by the Narratives Performing Company, whose members included Breena Clarke, director, Linda Powell (d. 2013),and Gwendolen Hardwick.  It was performed at the Festival of Women’s Theater in Santa Cruz, Ca. in 1985.  Narratives is available online at the Lesbian Poetry Archive http://www.lesbianpoetryarchive.org/Narratives.
