90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

'I am Black because I come from the earth's inside

now take my word for jewel in the open light.'
Impassioned and profound, the poems in Coal showcase Audre Lorde in all her dazzling elegance and multiplicity. Mournful, celebratory, politically conscious, this early collection is a testament to Lorde's beloved and hugely influential lyric voice, which faithfully captures the complex interiority of the self. These timeless poems resonate down the years.
