"Recognizing the power in the erotic within our lives can give us the energy to pursue genuine change within our world, rather than merely settling for a shift of characters in the same weary drama..."~ Audre Lorde gives me life.

Just got this collection of essays, first edition by Jamaica Kincaid as a gift. It's a collection of all the essays she had written for The New Yorker. Love reading her thoughts, her voice, her command of language, her unflinching observations.

Experiencing this book all over again with its lush language, and great story line.
