Screen grab from eBay of Audre Lorde’s book The First Cities. You can’t see it here but they’re asking for $8,500 plus shipping

Title page of The First Cities. It’s dated 4/68 and signed with the inscription “To A.B. - who has seen the lights in some of these cities go out."

The poem “Coal”, which Lorde says in an interview came to her while riding on the packed subway, pressing through the tubes of human energy pulsing underground beneath Manhattan

Any Audre Lorde nerds in DC should go to Second Story Books and try to set eyes on this signed first edition of Lorde’s rare first book, The First Cities.

When she signed this in 1968, she was 34, a librarian with 2 small kids in an unhappy marriage. She had never taught or given a public speech.

Interesting book idea! 😆 Send me a proposal?
