Sister Love: Celebrating the letters between Pat Parker and Audre Lorde

 

Alexis De Veaux, Cheryl Clarke,  J P Howard, Mecca Sullivan participated in a panel discussing the letters between Pat Parker and Audre Lorde, 1974 -1989.   Lorde was 35 and Parker 25, when they were introduced by Wendy Cadden, a member of the Women’s Press Collective.   The letters cover the most productive and intellectual years of both writers  and provide an insight into their respective interior worlds.  The panel was moderated by Julie Enszar, editor of “Sister Love”  and the journal Sinister Wisdom.  The event, which was packed out, was held on Thursday 19th April as part of the 2018 Split This Rock event.
