though i had already read some of her essays in “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house”, i can’t keep but fall in love all over again with audres’ words.
her every line is filled with deep intent and it carries over so well through the years that it’s both earnest and bittersweet. her themes are ever present and i think what keeps on captivating me is how her poetry-packed writing turns into her prose, her ideals moving and humane experiences so enriched by the years that in turn transform her paragraphs into the voice of generations.
can’t wait to get into her poems.
“but i remind myself that i have lived through it all already, and survived.”

“interdependency between women is the way to a freedom which allows the i to be, not in order to be used, but in order to be creative.”
refreshing and concise, with a captivating prose that knows how to pack a punch while calling to action, i need to read everything lorde has ever put out.

it just keeps getting worse: less plot, incoherent attempts at something, and just not enough substance in the ever changing paradigm of characters.
