The Black Unicorn: Poems
By Audre LordePublisher Description
The Black Unicorn is a collection of poems by a woman who, Adrienne Rich writes, "for the complexity of her vision, for her moral courage and the catalytic passion of her language, has already become, for many, an indispensable poet."
Rich continues: "Refusing to be circumscribed by any simple identity, 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. Her rhythms and accents have the timelessness of a poetry which extends beyond white Western politics, beyond the anger and wisdom of Black America, beyond the North American earth, to Abomey and the Dahomeyan Amazons. These are poems nourished in an oral tradition, which also blaze and pulse on the page, beneath the reader's eye."Download the free Fable app

“Poetry so powerful it bursts a palm through your chest, grips your heart in its fist, and squeezes mercilessly until you shatter, to ensure you feel its presence.
Dear Lorde, the agony and righteousness and fury in these words. The power and hunger and refuge. That it was originally published in 1978 and is still so relevant in today's world speaks to its timelessness, and to our snail-paced progress.
Raw and wounded, passionate and fierce. This collection of Audre Lorde is my first, but will certainly not be my last.
5 incredible stars”
