책 소개

Every poem ever published by the late poet, who is noted for the passion and vision of her poems about being African American, a lesbian, a mother, and a daughter, is collected in a definitive anthology of her work.
A complete collection-over 300 poems-from one of this country's most influential poets.
Collected here for the first time are more than three hundred poems from one of this country's major and most influential poets, representing the complete oeuvre of Audre Lorde's poetry. Lorde published nine volumes of poetry which, in her words, detail "a linguistic and emotional tour through the conflicts, fears, and hopes of the world I have inhabited". Included here are Lorde's early, previously unavailable works: The First Cities, The New York Head Shop and Museum, Cables to Rage, and From a Land Where Other People Live.

저자(글) Audre Lorde

천 개의 얼굴을 가진 시인이며. 흑인이며 다양한 인종people of color의 인권을 위해 싸운 전사, 문학과 철학을 가르치는 교수, 도서관 사서, 출판인, 암 생존자, 엄마, 페미니스트, 사회주의자, 그리고 레즈비언이다. 그녀는 차별과 혐오의 대상일 수 있는 여러 교차적인 얼굴을 숨기지 않고 다양한 정체성을 자신의 멀티 페르소나로 거침없이 드러낸 여성 시인이다. 1934년에 뉴욕시 할렘에서 카리브해 국가인 그레나다 이민자 가정의 세 딸 중 막내로 태어났으며, 서인도 제도에 관한 어머니의 이야기를 들으며 네 살 때부터 읽기, 말하기, 쓰기를 익혔다. 1951년, 헌터 고등학교 재학 중에 학교 문예지에서 자신의 시 게재를 거부하자 10대를 위한 잡지〈세븐틴〉에 처음으로 시를 투고해 실었다. 1959년에 헌터 칼리지에서 문학과 철학을 전공했고, 컬럼비아 대학에서 도서관학으로 석사 학위를 받아 공립 도서관 사서가 되었다. 그리니치빌리지의 레즈비언 게이 공동체에 활발히 참여하며 게이인 에드워드 롤린스와 결혼해 두 아이를 낳았다. 1968년에 첫 번째 시집 『최초의 도시들 The First Cities』을 출간했고, 1973년에 시집 『타인이 사는 땅으로부터 From a Land Where Other People Live』에서 정체성으로 인한 악전고투와 사회적 부정의에 대한 분노를 다뤘다. 1976년에 대형 출판사인 노튼 Norton에서 인종 정의와 흑인 정체성에 관한 시집 『석탄 Coal』을 펴내 흑인 예술 운동 진영의 영향력 있는 목소리로 자리했다. 44세 되던 해인 1978년에 같은 출판사에서 시집『블랙 유니콘 The Black Unicorn』출간해, 아프리카 여성 신화를 주제로 삼아 범아프리카주의pan-Africanism에 대한 기존 담론에 대항하며 블랙 페미니즘 전사의 이미지를 소환했다. 같은 해, 유방암을 진단받았다. 1982년에는 자기 인식의 진화와 섹슈얼리티에 다룬 자전 소설『자미 : 내 이름의 새로운 철자 Zami : A New Spelling of My Name』를 발표했으며, 1984년에는 국내에서 널리 알려진 페미니즘 에세이와 연설문 모음집인 『시스터 아웃사이더 Sister Outsider』출간했다. 1986년에 자신이 공동 설립한 유색 인종 여성들을 위한 출판사 키친 테이블 Kitchen Table : Women of Color Press에서 에세이 『나는 너의 자매다 I Am Your Sister』를 펴냈다. 유방암 선고 이후 6년 만에 간암 진단을 받은 그녀는 산타크루즈 섬에서 아프리카학 교수인 글로리아 조셉과 살며 투병하다 1992년, 58세의 나이로 세상을 떠났다. 영원한 아웃사이더로서 로드는 레즈비언 공동체에서는 흑인으로, 흑인 공동체에서는 레즈비언으로, 페미니스트 공동체에서는 흑인 레즈비언으로 평생을 인종차별과 성차별, 동성애 혐오에 맞서 싸웠다. “흑인, 레즈비언, 여성, 페미니스트, 시인, 엄마, 교사, 암 투병 생존자, 활동가”로서의 자신의 정체성이 모두 존중받는 온전한 자아를 찾고자 분투한 그녀가 죽기 전 마지막으로 받은 아프리카 이름은 감바 아디사GAMBA ADISA, “전사, 자신의 의미를 분명히 보여 준 여자”였다.
