Praise for Lorde and Parker‘Her work shows us new ways to imagine the world ... so many themes of Audre’s work have endured’ Renni Eddo Lodge‘I came across Audre Lorde’s Zami, and I cried to think how lucky I was to have found her. She was an inspiration’ Jackie Kay‘As the Black Lives Matter movement calls attention to the grave risks Black people have always faced and as poets and artists wrestle with the question of how to marry the political and the personal in their work, we have never needed Pat Parker’s work more.’ Kazim Ali‘The poetry of Pat Parker reaches out to us anew and shakes our consciousness--fiercely.’ Cheryl Clarke
