Review of 'The Black Unicorn' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

"I will eat the last signs of my weakness
remove the scars of old childhood wars
and dare to enter the forest whistling
like a snake that has fed the chameleon
for changes
I shall be forever.
May I never remember reasons
for my spirit's safety
may I never forget
the warning of my woman's flesh
weeping at the new moon
may I never lose
that terror
that keeps me brave
May I owe nothing
that I cannot repay."

- fragment from Solstice.

no, miss audre lorde DID NOT disappoint

faves from the collection: a litany for survival, touring, chorus, in margaret's garden, hanging fire, from the greenhouse, sister outsider, power, solstice.
