Another reread...when I get stuck I return to this often to help inspire my pen and give me some audacity...anyways this time I did an audiobook and I won’t be doing that again because I didn’t like the narrator on this...she didn’t seem to be reading with any type of meaning/comprehension or flair
Based on my experience with this book on the first read through, I’m giving it 3 stars because there were only a couple of essays that really got me thinking. However, I am planning on revisiting a few of the essays that were more opaque to me with the help of a friend and hope that I can come to appreciate them more deeply. I particularly struggled with understanding Poetry is Not a Luxury and Use of the Erotic, which were written in more academic/poetic language than the ones I connected with more (like The Uses of Anger). I was impressed by Lorde’s breadth of writing style even if I found some more accessible than others.
