Summary
"Across the country and around the world, the bold and powerful Audre Lorde has been a touchstone for generations of writers and activists. And while she has been the subject of many books, there is more of her story to tell. The Wind is Spirit: The Life, Love and Legacy of Audre Lorde offers an entirely different and intimate perspective. Written by Dr. Gloria I.

Davis, Jewelle Gomez, Assata Shakur, and 50 other contributors who pay homage to the transformative writer and activist"--
