Alexis Pauline Gumbs explores Audre Lorde's life through the lens of nature and the universe, emphasizing her contributions to Black feminism and her constant engagement with the earth.
Gumbs suggests that Audre Lorde's existence and poetry are intrinsically connected to the natural world, urging us to see her as a survivor who navigated oppressive conditions.
In her biography, Gumbs employs speculative narrative to reimagine Lorde's presence in contemporary times, positing that Lorde watches over today's Black feminists and activists.
With 58 fragmentary chapters, Gumbs invites readers to approach Lorde's life in a non-linear fashion, fostering a sense of mutual respect and curiosity about her legacy.
