On November 11, I was fortunate enough to spend the evening with Brook MacBeth in a discussion about one of my favorite pieces ever, Audre Lorde’s “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power” from 1978. This essay is basically scripture to me. Please enjoy the discussion and feel free to comment. Also, click HERE for my discussion notes.
