But the image of a massive space dedicated to the exploration of pleasure planted itself in my young mind I thought, “Yes, I want that.” I first read the words “pleasure-dome” in a Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem, the rest of which I promptly forgot. My name is adrienne maree brown, and I am your host in this space, your companion on this journey. Do you have a question or topic about pleasure that you want adrienne to address? Let us know in Hearken! We are thrilled to welcome our newest columnist, adrienne maree brown, who will be writing The Pleasure Dome: A Place for Pleasure and Feminism every other Wednesday.
