The black unicorn - Audre Lorde

I have been woman
for a long time
beware my smile
I am treacherous with old magic

Filled
with rage and tenderness, Audre Lorde's most acclaimed poetry
collection speaks of mothers and children, female strength and
vulnerability, renewal and revenge, goddesses and warriors, ancient
magic and contemporary America. These are fearless assertions of
identity, told with incantatory power.

'Audre Lorde writes as a
black woman, a mother, a daughter, a lesbian, a feminist, a visionary;
poems of elemental wildness and healing, nightmare and lucidity ...
which blaze and pulse on the page' Adrienne Rich
