	UB Reporter: DeVeaux publishes Audre Lorde biography
		Audre Lorde certainly was a political poet in terms of the topics she addressed, but her work also has been described as "extremely romantic in nature" and is marked by passion, sincerity, perception and deep feeling.
		"Audre Lorde lived two lives," writes DeVeaux in her introduction to the book, citing the crucial determinants of her first life as the themes of escape, freedom and self-actualization.
		Although the last decades of Lorde's life were lived conservatively, her writing, which often is witty, sharply focused and bitingly sardonic, serves as a corrective to that period.
