I don't want to give Our Dead Behind Us less than three stars, but I didn't understand most of the poems in this book. Since I didn't understand, I'm going to defer from casting any judgments about the quality of this work.

This collection feels similar to how the lungs, after exhaling the breath into that place of discomfort, to then inhale deeply.
Many of the poems address the memories and intersections of blackness, childhood, the future, and the present. Some are whimsical, some heartbearing, some throwing you into the realities of identity.

Well, I finally finished. I can honestly say that I am not that big of an Audre Lorde. I don't know if I picked the wrong book to start reading her works or what but I had a hard time grasping the meaning of several of her poems. I had to do some research or should I say a lot of research to get the meaning behind the poems. Just not my kind of poetry. I don't know if this will be the only works that I read from her but this is not my cup of tea. Reading about Lorde I found out she is a fighter and she stood for what she believed in and went to great levels to make a stance for what she felt strongly about and for that I appreciate her as a strong individual.

This was probably much better than I think, because I didn't understand much of it with my English. I really wish there was a Finnish translation.
