Audre Lorde has a wonderfully rich, sensual way of writing. I feel she invites you in to her musings and explores her story and trauma with the reader. Personal in a different level from a regular biography. It almost feels like you are reading one of her extended essays. Her acknowledgement and appreciation of the divine feminine comes through in all aspects of her biomythography, as well as the struggles of growing up in a segregated America as a black lesbian.
