Breast cancer arrived to poet Audre Lorde's life in the late 1970's just like it did to 230,480 American women in 2011. Unlike many others though, for Lorde breast cancer became a new stimulus for great works of prose and poetry. Pain, cancer, and poems all fled together to construct Lorde's final masterpieces. This presentation makes mention of Audre Lorde's The Cancer Journals, A Burst of Light, and her final book of poetry The Marvelous Arithmetics of Distance.
