Chosen Poems, Old and New

Blood

Reflections on the Novel

Chosen Poems, Old and New by Audre Lorde
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lorde's poems speak powerfully to the experiences of women, particularly of black women, and of same-gender loving women. Some of the images and phrases are quite challenging while also at times celebratory. She can write sexy love poems and chilling poems about abuse and violence.
