In her own words, Audre Lorde was a “black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet.” Lorde began writing poetry at age 12 and published her first poem in Seventeen magazine at age 15. She helped found Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press, the world’s first publisher run by women of color, in 1980. Her poetry was published regularly throughout her life and she served as the State Poet of New York from 1991 to 1992. Lorde explored issues of class, race, age, sex, and – after a series of cancer diagnoses — health, as being fundamental to the female experience. She died of liver cancer in 1992.

We are everywhere and white people still do not see us. 
They force us from sidewalks. 
Mistake us for men.
Expect us to give up our seats to them on the bus. 
Challenge us with their faces. 
Are afraid of us in groups. 
Thus the brutal one on one. 
Like a t.v. news script, every transition frustrates
rage. Hand in hand with me
you admonish
not to let them come between us
not to let them come between us on the street. 
We are struck by war crazy men
recording their gunfire on stereo cassette decks.
