A BURST OF LIGHT And Other Essays

Golden Voice Robin Miles performs the powerful words of poet/activist Audre Lorde, who covers topics that range from fighting a battle with liver cancer to struggles with sexual and racial identify. Her collection of personal and political essays offers powerful messages on politics and intersectionality. While many of the essays were written decades ago, they're still relevant in current times. Miles's intelligent, strong, emotional performance helps listeners absorb the struggles of someone who is seen as other due to their sexuality or skin color. Listeners will feel as if Lorde is speaking directly to them, daring them to step up and make a change. V.B. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2022]
