Drawing from the private archives of the poet's estate and numerous interviews, Alexis De Veaux demystifies Lorde's iconic status, charting her conservative childhood in Harlem; her early marriage to a white, gay man with whom she had two children; her emergence as an outspoken black feminist lesbian; and her canonization as a seminal poet of American literature.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><em>Warrior Poet</em> is a literary event of considerable significance.-- "Atlanta Journal-Constitution"<br><br>A clearly written and extensively researched volume that is every bit as formidable as Lorde herself was, and will likely be regarded as the definitive study of the controversial poet.-- "Buffalo News"<br><br>De Veaux's thorough tale of a complicated artist is compelling. Lorde comes to life, and her powerful prose is presented in a whole new light.-- "Essence"<br>
