Azalea magazine

Azalea magazine was a poetry journal for “third world feminists.” A full collection was digitized by Desirée Yael Vester of Lesbian Herstory Archive and is available at Lesbian Poetry Archives: https://www.lesbianpoetryarchive.org/Azalea

Named for the “hardy flower that blooms in the spring” (wikipedia) the quarterly magazine was published for Black and Brown Lesbians by the Salsa Soul Sisters, Third World Wimmin Inc Collective. The Salsa Soul Sisters also organized conferences, dances, workshops, performances, dances and built an intersectional community. The Gayzette was their newsletter. Azalea featured writers such as Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, Toni Cade Bambara, Pat Parker, Lorraine Hansberry, and Zora Neale Hurston, among many others. I learned about this publication during a presentation by Nat Pyper at Typographics 2025 in New York.

Yale University might also hold these collections:
