On she stumbles - through teenage pain and loneliness, but then to happiness in friendship, work and sex, from Washington Heights to Mexico, always changing, always strong. This is Audre Lorde's story. A rapturous, life-affirming autobiographical novel by the 'Black, lesbian, mother, warrior poet', it changed the literary landscape.'Her work shows us new ways to imagine the world ... so many themes of Audre's work have endured' Renni Eddo Lodge, author of Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race'I came across Audre Lorde's Zami, and I cried to think how lucky I was to have found her.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Audre Lorde

Audre Lorde, (1934-1992), figura maior do feminismo negro, foi uma eminente poeta e pensadora norte-americana. Precursora da teoria interseccional e da crítica decolonial, afirmava a sua identidade multifacetada apresentando-se publicamente como «mulher negra, lésbica, mãe, guerreira, poeta». Dedicou a vida a combater o racismo, o sexismo, a homofobia e a invisibilidade. Bibliotecária, professora de Inglês, forjou alianças significativas e trabalhou ativamente, deixando-nos algumas das mais importantes obras para o desenvolvimento da teoria feminista contemporânea. Foi distinguida com doutoramentos honoris causa de várias faculdades, tendo sido ainda Poeta Laureada do Estado de Nova Iorque entre 1991 e 1993. Em 2020, foi postumamente homenageada, figurando no American Poets Corner da Catedral de São João, o Divino, em Nova Iorque.
