The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde by Audre Lorde

3.0

I’ve been working on this one for months-I like to take my time with poetry collections and this one was no easy feat. I have loved Audre Lorde for many years but haven’t ever taken the time to really sit with her words until now. She captures the raw pain of Black loss, Black joy, and Black love so deeply. I felt intrusive in some of her words and immersed in others. This was an incredible collection, and I think I will return to it often.
