The Selected Works of Audre Lorde by Audre Lorde, Roxane Gay

4.0

I hadn't read Lorde, and this was a great introduction to her work. I was mostly so-so on the poetry (but I'm mostly so-so on poetry in general), but I found her prose to be marvelous. I think she may write about as clearly and directly as any nonfiction author I've read, without sacrificing lyricism or, to use a sort of abstract word for it, heart. Even her journal entries read as if well polished.
