NY: W. W. Norton & Company, 1978. First edition review copy, with laid in publisher's slip and b&w press photo. 122pp. Red cloth; dust jacket. A touch of fading at tops of boards, else fine in a very good jacket, clipped at base of front flap but with price still present at top, with sunning to spine and toned interior.
The scarce hardcover issue of this 1978 book of verse by American poet Audre Lorde (1934-1992), widely considered one of her strongest collections; a potent examination of the role her African heritage plays in Lorde's identity as a feminist, lesbian, and Black woman living in contemporary America.
