Zami: A New Spelling of My Name (Crossing Press Feminist Series)

8 reviews
Audre Lorde

Crossing Press, 1983

An essential American life story
In "Zami: A New Spelling of My Name," poet Audre Lorde has written a text she calls a "biomythography." I think of "biomythography" as a literary form that blends elements of autobiography, the novel, and personal mythology. But however you define the word, "Zami" is a powerful and beautiful text which illuminates the life of an African-American lesbian in the mid-20th century. "Zami" begins with ...

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 ...

The Cancer Journals: Special Edition

5 reviews
Audre Lorde

Aunt Lute Books, 2006

It's a great tool in overcomming the fear of breast cancer.
I cried through most of this book. Not out of pity for what Audre was going through, but simply because I have seldom seen anyone face such a crisis with such nobility and strength. On some level I think we all fear breast cancer. This book took the terror out of it for me and made me feel that if I were to end up with cancer that I would somehow come through it okay. Audre demonstrates that ...

excellent story - not heavy handed in plot lines
I listened to the audio version, and I have to say that the vocalist did an excellent job. The story is great. I like its simplicity, simple dialog, and likeable characters. Terry Brooks took a simple premise and made a great series of stories out of it. I think that he could have made Ben Holiday a little faster with logic (he is a lawyer after all) but other than that, I think the story ...

Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches (Crossing Press Feminist Series)

9 reviews
Audre Lorde

Crossing Press, 2007

Incredible essays
No poems this time around, folks: prose that gets under your skin and into your head. The late, great Audre Lorde, known primarily for her poetry over the years, wrote what is one of the most compelling books on sociology, sexuality, racism and the nature of human character and existence in the last 20 years. Her charges are damning, but dashed with more than a spoonful of hope when ...

Audre Lorde

Women's Press (CA), 1992

Uncompromisingly Radical, and Brilliant
In this beautiful collection of interviews, essays, and journal writings, Audre Lorde remains true to her radical feminist politic, one she espoused all her life. She also clearly articulates her belief in living self-consciously, as a poet, with integrity. The highlight of this collection is an interview Lorde gave shortly before her death, explaining her opposition to sadomasochism. The ...
