Durham-based scholar, poet and author Alexis Pauline Gumbs has written a comprehensive, genre-expanding biography of feminist icon Audre Lorde.
Survival is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde grapples with Lorde’s life and legacy in the non-linear, meditative, naturalistic style for which Gumbs has become known over the course of her own decades-long literary career.
Leoneda Inge chats with her about her process and her personal history with Lorde’s work.
