Audre Lorde

Audre Lorde was an American writer, poet, feminist, and civil rights activist who described herself as a 'Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet.' Born in New York City in 1934, she was one of the most important voices in twentieth-century literature and activism. Selected Works of Audre Lorde brings together her poetry and prose — fierce, beautiful, powerful writing about race, gender, sexuality, and the politics of identity. Lorde's work has been foundational for feminist, LGBTQ+, and anti-racist movements. Lorde died in 1992. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers fierce, essential poetry and prose — the work of one of the most powerful voices in American literature and activism.
