Aww thats wonderful!

Even though she died in 1989, there are audio recordings of her reading her poetry on youtube as well. Hearing her voice is incredible too.

I think you will enjoy this one, especially since its one of the few videos I could find where you can actually see her reading her poem "For Straight Folk" at what I am pretty sure is a pride parade:

Another fun fact is that Pat Parker was friends with Audre Lorde.
