I am always so amazed at the well of knowledge audre lorde has. she writes in such an informative yet poetic manner. my favourite essay is the transformation of silence into language and action. i myself have so many silences I need to break (in-spite of fear). i am learning that poetry is a not a luxury but a necessity, and act of resistance, simultaneously an act of care. I will be returning to these essays for years to come. lorde, thank you for you keepsakes.

This is one of those books I wish everyone read — most especially U.S. teens and young adults who are trying to make sense of their lives.

I think the most powerful essays were “The Transformation of Silence Into Language and Action,” “Man Child,” “An Interview,” “The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House,” “The Uses of Anger,” “Learning from the 60s,” and “Eye to Eye.”

Though I listened to the audiobook, I think this book is ideally read on the page. I had to rewind many times to fully digest ideas, and I would’ve liked to underline as I read.
