This review is from: The Black Unicorn: Poems (Paperback)

Audre Lorde makes no apologies about herself as a Black woman, a mother, a daughter, a lesbian, a feminist and a visionary. Her poetry can be quite sensual and sexual at times. From the first poem entitled, "The Black Unicorn," and the "Solstice." Lorde is quite a vocal female character regarding her opinions and views. In 1981, her sexual orientation was not in vogue to be talked about. Lorde's open-ness is quite apparent in her poetry but I would have liked to know some background information regarding each poem since I'm not much of a poetry reader or follower of Audre Lorde but I do admire her work. Too bad, she's gone because she would have been quite an influence in today's society and her voice silenced by her death of cancer robbed the world of her voice.
