Why Buy A The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde by Audre Lorde?
This is the definitive and complete Audre Lorde collection, including original and revised versions of Lordes previously unavailable early poems and her later work, which Robin Morgan calls sinewy, lyrical, celebratory even in the face of death. Lorde was able to write indignantly about political matters (jessehelms, her excoriation of the right-wing icon, is outrageously funny and angry), and her eloquence from the margins made her an inspiration to many readers. Lordes writings about family, erotic love, and quiet, beautiful moments of reflection also leave a deep impression. As Adrienne Rich has noted: These are poems which blaze and pulse on the page.

The Magic of Audre Lorde….
In my opinion, Audre Lorde is one of the best poets of our time. Her words create vibrant images in the mind, as well as indelibly printing their echoes on the heart. Whether harsh and dark, or light and singing, her verse is incomparable. This book, a collection of her works, can be nothing less than brilliant simply for being exactly what it is. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes poetry — and even some who don’t. Lorde can change your view of the genre if anyone can.
no punches pulled
Whether Audre Lorde is communicating about being Afro-American, a woman, a mother, a lesbian, or a survivor of cancer, she never pulls any punches. She definitely is an unsung leader. She accomplished quite a lot in her 58 years. Despite being the poet in resident of New York state, she is little heard of. And that’s too bad. Her voice is strong and clear against oppression. May my voice, in my books such as “Forever Retro Blues” be as clear and as strong.
Great companion for a great poet
Collecting the work of the incredibly accessible and graceful Lorde, this book gives you not only all of her work in one fell swoop, but one of the best overviews of style and voice that can be found in one poet.A must-have for poets and an incredible teaching resource.
Best Book Ever
This book of poetry should be required for life. It is one of the most inspirationational books ever. Audre Lorde’s work will live forever through this work and I highly recommend it.
