Selected Works of Audre Lorde brings together essential writings from one of the 20th century's most influential poets and essayists. Lorde's work explores the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and class with unflinching honesty and lyrical power. From her groundbreaking essays on difference and solidarity to her passionate poetry of resistance and self-definition, the collection reveals a writer who transformed personal experience into political vision, insisting that our silences will not protect us.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Lorde understood that speaking truth, especially uncomfortable truth, is an act of survival and revolution. Her work remains essential because she refused to choose between her identities or her commitments, showing us that liberation means embracing all of who we are.
