## Description

From the self-described 'black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet', these soaring, urgent essays on the power of women, poetry and anger are filled with darkness and light. Penguin Modern: fifty new books celebrating the pioneering spirit of the iconic Penguin Modern Classics series, with each one offering a concentrated hit of its contemporary, international flavour. Here are authors ranging from Kathy Acker to James Baldwin, Truman Capote to Stanislaw Lem and George Orwell to Shirley Jackson; essays radical and inspiring; poems moving and disturbing; stories surreal and fabulous; taking us from the deep South to modern Japan, New York's underground scene to the farthest reaches of outer space.

Review: Excellent book - Excellent lessons in life and activism.
Review: Still important - This is a very short but powerful collection of essays and papers from the late 1970s to early 1980s. Audre Lorde was an American self-described Black, lesbian, feminist. She was also a powerful poet. The few papers reproduced here could easily have been written yesterday. That says something terrifying. In the paper entitled 'Learning from the 1960s' presented at Harvard for the 1982 Malcolm X Weekend, she states: "... we must recognise that many of our high expectations of rapid revolutionary change did not in fact occur. And many of the gains that did are even now being dismantled." That rings as true today as it did in 1982. Yet these papers also stress unity despite difference, and strength from within. I think everyone should read Audre Lorde. She spoke/speaks sense.
