Starred review from September 15, 2007
Poet and librarian Lorde collected 15 of her finest essays and speeches in this 1984 volume. With her poet's command of language, she addresses sexism, racism, black women, black lesbians, eroticism, and more. Still powerful.Copyright 2007 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
