I can't believe it's taken me this long to read a whole collection by Audre Lorde. At the same time, I'm so grateful what was revolutionary in the 80's is now widely accepted on the left, and so infuriated that it is still not acted through and is not widely accepted in all society.

I've been holding on to my overdue DCPLibrary copy for a few extra days. It's full of underlined passages and marginalia in at least 3 different hands.

"The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House". Yes. yes. yes.

Audre Lorde my beloved. 

She put it in words.

Seems unnecessary to comment on Lorde’s writing. Read her. This anthology is a good compilation for those who haven’t before.
