There’s nothing more romantic that Black queer friendships.

It’s hard to not tear up when thinking about the friendship these amazing poets had. Audre and Pat’s letters show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. The care that was put into compiling these letters is noticeable and appreciated. I would recommend reading Zami before reading this.

Completely different from what I normally read. I picked it up for a book challenge being run by my local book store. A fascinating set of letters with some truly gorgeous passages. My only frustration is that I read an electric version and I wish that I had read it in hard copy. Now I need to go out and get some books of their poems!

Beautiful and intimate letters between two incredible poets and friends. So much of what they discuss will sound familiar and timeless. As a fan of both of their writing but not an expert on their biographies I would have appreciated a little more contextualization or timeline from major life events to keep track of the events of the letters in time and place.
