Description
A powerful collection of poems that confronts racism, sexism, homophobia, class oppression, and the complexities of identity with extraordinary clarity and emotional force. Drawing on personal experience and collective struggle, these poems transform anger, desire, grief, and love into acts of witness and resistance. Audre Lorde’s incisive, lyrical voice explores the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, motherhood, and power while insisting on the necessity of speaking truth. Essential and enduring, the collection reveals poetry as both a means of survival and a catalyst for change.
