Warrior Poet: A Biography of Audre Lorde (2004) --
Winner Lambda
Literary 2004
Biography Award
During her lifetime, Audre Lorde (1934-1992), author of the
landmark Cancer Journals, created a mythic identity for herself that
retains its vitality to this day. Drawing from the private archives of the
poet's estate and numerous interviews, Alexis De Veaux demystifies Lorde's
iconic status, charting her conservative childhood in Harlem; her early
marriage to a white, gay man with whom she had two children; her emergence
as an outspoken black feminist lesbian; and her canonization as a seminal
poet of American literature. 18 photographs.
