To be seen so fully by an anthology is rare. I hope all black queer people have a chance to read this. It is worth so much.

A collection of poetry, essays, interviews and short fiction from Black gay writers in the 1980s. Most of the work addresses racism and homophobia, and it is terribly sad that it still resonates to this day. An important collection and what an immeasurable loss that many of the contributors died during the AIDS crisis. Grateful to the late [a:Joseph Beam|639328|Joseph Beam|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1268779805p2/639328.jpg] for bringing this to existence and for all the contributors.
