SOLD OUT! Your Silence Will Not Protect You: Reni Eddo-Lodge & Sarah Shin on Audre

Audre Lorde (1934-92) described herself as ‘Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet’. Born in New York, she had her first poem published while still at school and her last in the year of her death in 1992. Her extraordinary belief in the power of language – of speaking – to articulate selfhood, confront injustice and bring about change in the world remains as transformative today as it was then, and no less urgent. Your Silence Will Not Protect You (Silver Press) is the first British edition of Lorde's writing and brings Lorde’s essential poetry, speeches and essays together in one volume for the first time, with a preface by Reni Eddo-Lodge and an introduction by Sara Ahmed.

Reni Eddo-Lodge, author of the acclaimed Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race, will be in conversation with Sarah Shin, co-founder of Silver Press about Your Silence Will Not Protect You.
