The Selected Works of Audre Lorde by Audre Lorde
3.0
3.5 I think. Lorde’s essays and speeches and monumental, then and now. She is so clear in her understanding and analysis of patriarchy, white supremacy, heterosexism, classism - she’s just so… great.
I also found her journals during her bout with cancer to be really moving. I remember writing at one point like, “She’s just so full of life,” and she really was. And I find that really inspirational, I think. Her reflections on what was this all for, and trying to make sure her life was worth it was really interesting, too.
The poetry was a miss with me though, sadly! I think some of it was solid, but I think she went a bit more abstract than I like. Such is life!
