A complete collection―over 300 poems―from one of this country s most influential poets.
"These are poems which blaze and pulse on the page."―Adrienne Rich "The first declaration of a black, lesbian feminist identity took place in these poems, and set the terms―beautifully, forcefully―for contemporary multicultural and pluralist debate."―Publishers Weekly "This is an amazing collection of poetry by . . . one of our best contemporary poets. . . . Her poems are powerful, often political, always lyrical and profoundly moving."―Chuckanut Reader Magazine "What a deep pleasure to encounter Audre Lorde s most potent genius . . . you will welcome the sheer accessibility and the force and beauty of this volume."―Out MagazineThis is the definitive and complete Audre Lorde collection, including original and revised versions of Lorde s previously unavailable early poems and her later work, which Robin Morgan calls "sinewy, lyrical, celebratory even in the face of death." Lorde was able to write indignantly about political matters ("jessehelms," her excoriation of the right-wing icon, is outrageously funny and angry), and her eloquence from the margins made her an inspiration to many readers. Lorde s writings about family, erotic love, and quiet, beautiful moments of reflection also leave a deep impression. As Adrienne Rich has noted: "These are poems which blaze and pulse on the page."
