THE CANCER JOURNALS

Lorde, Audre

ISBN 10: 0933216033 / ISBN 13: 9780933216037

Edité par Spinsters, Ink, Argyle, NY, 1980

First edition from the self-described "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet" (POETRY FOUNDATION) - one of her best-known books. Audre Lorde published her first poem while in high school, and recalls that, as a child, she "literally communicated through poetry" (POETRY FOUNDATION). Her writing and her activism were intimately related, and she was one of the leading lights of the Black Arts Movement. THE CANCER JOURNALS, Lorde's prose memoir of her diagnosis with and treatment for breast cancer, has gone through numerous editions, but the true first edition remains elusive. One of her most enduring works, scarce in this condition. 8'' x 5''. Original yellow printed wrappers. 80 pages. Trace sunning, faint shelfwear to extremities. Else bright, clean, and sharp.
