A Burst of Light: And Other Essays by Audre Lorde

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

3.25

Not my favourite of Lorde's work, but powerful all the same. Some essays were slightly underwhelming, others incredibly strong and passionate. Lorde's refusal to be rendered powerless in a system founded on injustice and inequality is truly a testament to her determination and an inspiration to all. Her journal entries about her experience living with cancer were piercing, but fragmented at times.
