In this episode we discuss Audre Lorde, a lesbian woman of color who was as bold as she was unapologetic. As a black lesbian woman near-sighted almost to the point of blindness, Lorde faced more civil rights restrictions than could be counted on one hand - and she responded with a honed rage and a practiced compassion that reverberates through her poetic successors even today.*Official Canon Fire Website: www.canonfirepodcast.com/Banner designed by Brittany Baril.Theme song by Alan Hardison, mastered by Nick Cameron.
