1977. Introduced by June Jordan.
Here is a recording by the late Audre Lorde, who, Adrienne Rich remarked, "refuse[d] to be circumscribed by any simple identity, [she wrote] as a Black woman, a mother, a daughter, a Lesbian, a feminist, a visionary."
Lorde reads largely from her widely acclaimed seventh book The Black Unicorn, including the title poem, "Scar," and "A Song for Many Movements." As June Jordan notes in her introduction, "[Lorde's] work is a poetry to be used, to be guided by, to be changed by deeply."
Length: 54 min.
