I read this going back and forth between poetry and prose (the book is divided roughly in half) and I definitely recommend that method. Each of her essays made me think and do a lot of underlining as well as starring many poems I hope to reach for again in the future.

My therapist loaned this to me because of Lorde’s writing on the functions of anger, and it really delivered. I love her work. I only give it 3 stars because a lot of her poetry is very beautiful and abstract and went over my head as someone who doesn’t love poetry, but that’s more of a me problem. Overall, so much wisdom and beauty packed into a single woman’s mind!
