DIN TAVSHED KAN IKKE BESKYTTE DIG samler et udvalg af de banebrydende essays og taler, somdigter og aktivist Audre Lorde skrev. For Lorde er digtning ikke en luksus, menen bydende nødvendighed. Undertrykkende magtkonstruktioner kan ikke ødelæggesmed de samme redskaber, der har skabt dem. Med en ubesværet kraft skriver Lorde om alder, etnicitet,klasse, køn, vold og erotik, og viser os en aktivisme og intersektionelfeminisme båret af dialektikkens åbenhed. Hendes tænkning er en slags poetikfor forskellighed, der viser, at detogså er os selv, der unødigt holder hinanden nede. Selv denfeministiske bevægelse har udelukket mange af de stemmer, der i deres afvigelsekunne være essentielle medspillere. Fra undertrykkelsens inderside kalder hun på en anerkendelse afkategorier og forskelle, på et brud med en tavshed, der ikke beskytter os.Indhold:Poesi er ikke en luksusTavshedens transformation til sprog og handlingBrug af erotikken: det erotiske som kraftHerskerens redskaber kan aldrig demontere herskerens husAlder, etnicitet, klasse og køn: kvinder der redefinererforskellighedBrug af vrede: kvinder der reagerer på racismeAudre Lorde (1934-1992).

"ZAMI is a fast-moving chronicle. From the author's vivid childhood memories in Harlem to her coming of age in the late 1950s, the nature of Audre Lorde's work is cyclical. It especially relates the linkage of women who have shaped her . . . Lorde brings into play her craft of lush description and characterization. It keeps unfolding page after page."-Off Our Backs

Die vorliegende Auswahl ihres lyrischen Werkes stellte Audre Lorde kurz vor ihrem Tod, während ihres letzten Aufenthaltes in Berlin, selbst zusammen. Die Gedichte umspannen Themen von Liebe und Leidenschaft zwischen Frauen, den vielfältigen Kampf um Selbstbehauptung und gegen den Missbrauch von Macht, das Ausloten von Unterschieden als kreative Kraft und die Vision einer neuen, lebbaren Welt. Ihre persönliche, schmerzvolle und mutige Gratwanderung zwischen Leben und Tod schärften Audre Lordes Blick fürs Wesentliche.
