Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. This collection of poetry and prose is incredibly moving. I especially enjoyed “The First Cities” section of the book, specifically “On a night of the full moon”. This poem is so raw and you can tell Audre Lorde wrote this poem, and many of her other works, in a moment of great passion and vulnerability. The works selected for this book fit together really well and have the ability to educate on the issues outlined in the book than a textbook would. Her firsthand experiences with these hardships adds to the pain you feel while reading the book, especially in her delicate poetic phrasing. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"A definitive selection of prose and poetry from the self-described "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet," for a new generation of readers. Audre Lorde is an unforgettable voice in twentieth-century literature, one of the first to center the experiences of black, queer women. Her incisive essays and passionate poetry-alive with sensuality, vulnerability, and rage-remain indelible contributions to intersectional feminism, queer theory, and critical race studies. This essential reader showcases twelve landmark essays and more than sixty poems, selected and introduced by one of our most powerful contemporary voices on race and gender, Roxane Gay. The essays include "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House," "I Am Your Sister," and excerpts from the National Book Award-winning A Burst of Light. The poems are drawn from Lorde's nine volumes, including National Book Award nominee The Land Where Other People Live. As Gay writes in her astute introduction, The Selected Works of Audre Lorde celebrates "an exemplar of public intellectualism who is as relevant in this century as she was in the last.""-- No library descriptions found. |
