“This volume resonates with some of the finest poems Audre Lorde ever wrote: sinewy, lyrical, celebratory even in the face of death, and always political in the best sense. Now the poet is gone?but the work lives, and sings.” —Robin Morgan
This collection, 39 poems written between 1987 and 1992, is the final volume written by Lorde, ”a major American poet whose concerns are international, and whose words have left their mark on many lives,” in the words of Adrienne Rich.

She was named New York State Poet in 1991; her other honors include the Manhattan Borough President’s Award for Excellence in the Arts.
