Mouths of Rain: Anthology of Black Lesbian Thought

Mouths of Rain: An Anthology of Black Lesbian Thought opens with, "Uses of the Erotic," to honor Audre Lorde's description of the erotic as an empowering creative energy and knowledge that creates space for our work, our loving, our language, and our dancing to breathe. We will explore erotic resonances through the voice of the Blues Woman, poet, and essayist, to map the various ways in which Black lesbian writings have constructed capacious hermeneutics of love.
