Brilliant collection. Definitely a good starting point and introduction to Lorde’s works. Her words resonate, and will continue to resonate.

this book, especially the essays "scratching the surface" and "uses of the erotic" should be required reading for all young adult women. reading lorde's work is like putting a mirror up to my face and leaning in close. profound, beautiful and moving. im inspired to read more of her work and i'm empowered to write more about my own experience.

Wow. Honestly wanted to savor this for days but somehow ended up finishing it in a couple of hours. Having first read “Zami,” I had yet to experience Lorde’s more concrete thoughts put together in a collection like this, and my expectations were far exceeded. I definitely found this a little more accessible as well. Highly recommend!!!
