Thisyear's conference is in memory and honor of the poet and essayist Audre Lorde. Our theme, "Many Kinds of Power" ,was taken from her essay" Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power." Using the erotic as a metaphor of the lifeforce of womyn and our creative energy, Lorde encourages us to reclaim language, history, dancing, loving, work and lives, and in doing so, to reclaim ourselves. To be in touch with our power isto move beyond fear. To be in touch with our power isto connect with others, to connect with our deepest knowledge, and to connect with ourselves. As Audre Lorde wrote, "recognizing such power within our lives can give us the energy to pursue genuine change within our world." The Planning Committee hopes that this weekend will offer you many opportunities to touch your power and in doing so, to celebrate yourself. • news • feature articles • advice column • poetry • book reviews • humoristNancy Ford • and much. much morel $2 Sample Copy $12 Six Month Subscription $24 Twelve Month Subscription P.O.
