Summary: The Magic of Audre Lorde....
Review: 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.

Summary: no punches pulled
Review: 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.
