comment on structure

This book is comprised of fifteen essays, letters, and speeches by Audre Lorde, one letter from Audre Lorde to Mary Daly, and one interview between Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich. The pieces range in length from four to thirty-one pages. The essays are named fairly straightforwardly, with the title indicating the thesis of the essay, as in Poetry Is Not a Luxury, or simply indicating the nature of the piece, as in Notes from a Trip to Russia.
