Why you should it: A poetically-written “biomythography” by Black, queer, feminist, womanist, and activist Audre Lorde. Lorde talks about her sexuality, desires, and outlines her trials and triumphs in her life in the only way she can. This “biomythography” is disturbingly passionate and true. It will resonate with every reader.
