Lorde, Audre: Difference and Survival: An Address at Hunter College

Blue Cactus Press, chapbook Publication Date: June 1, 2023 Publisher Marketing: Difference and Survival: An Address at Hunter College is a compact and powerful speech by none other than writer, activist, and feminist Audre Lorde.  Originally published in 2009 within I am Your Sister (Oxford 2009) but delivered between 1976 – 1990, Difference and Survival returns to deliver the same life-changing message to readers: the stories we tell ourselves have the power to change our lives. This speech is about self-actualization, the power of language, and what happens if we sit back and allow others to take charge of our stories.  Difference and Survival was designed, printed, and hand-bound in Tacoma, Washington, by Jonathan David Post of Arcady Goods. It was printed on recycled paper with biodegradable ink, in a limited and numbered edition. Only 500 copies of this chapbook exist.
