Well, the article's listed online on about four class syllabi (http://www.mith2.umd.edu/WomensStudies/S… ; http://www.jyllynnfelman.com/lordesylfin… ), but I couldn't find the full text of it anywhere, either anthologized or on my library's online academic search engines. The article was actually published in December, not August, 1984. Here's the correct citation:

"Revolutionary Hope: A Conversation Between James Baldwin and Audre Lorde." Essence 15:8 (December 1984): 72-4+.

I've never had such a pain trying to find any article! But, anyway, if you still really want it, I would contact Essence Magazine directly. I'm sure they could get it for you, but it'll likely cost about $10 or $15: http://www.essence.com/essence .

If you're looking for other general essays by or about Audre, you might find her collection _Sister Outsider_ of help (it includes her well-known and quite wonderful "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House," which I recommend you read if you haven't already): http://www.amazon.com/Sister-Outsider-Sp… .

Thank you for the information, some cited the article in 12/84, some cited the article in 8/82. The information while I appreciate the effort were the same sites I researched Essence holds articles to 1989. The NYPL sent me to Shomburg Library I'll go tomorrow. I've read all her writings and his.
