According to Lorde, “the farthest external horizons of our hopes and fears are cobbled by our poems, carved from the rock experiences of our daily lives.”. In the book, Lorde proposes a feminist, anti-racist view on poetry writing, pedagogy, sexuality, and strategies of resistence of Black women. The fact that they share the same name is an example of how her poems are drenched with the political propositions and concerns she articulated in her essays, and vice-versa. “Sister Outsider” is also the name of her powerful book of essays published in 1984. This relationship expands as women break the silence and fear and turn loneliness into strength and learning. Her verses discuss the experience and struggle of black women for life, through elements that symbolize their relationship with the world, beliefs, nature, and other women.
The poem “Sister Outsider” is part of the book The Black Unicorn, by Audre Lorde, published in 1978 in the United States.
