The Marvelous Arithmetics of Distance - Poems, 1987-1992 (Paperback)

Poems: 1987-1992

This collection, 39 poems written between 1987 and 1992, is the final volume by "a major American poet whose concerns are international, and whose words have left their mark on many lives," in the words of Adrienne Rich.

"This welcome collection, spanning the last half-decade of Lorde's life, shows the poet connecting the personal and the political with a fluent, conversational voice that holds the reader like great oratory."—Booklist

"In these last poems we recognize the same vibrant, brave and generous soul we knew before. A wonder in itself."—Alice Walker

"This volume resonated with some of the finest poems Audre Lorde ever wrote: sinewy, lyrical, celebratory even in the face of death, and always political in the best sense. Now the poet is gone—but the work lives, and sings."—Robin Morgan
