Celebrating 20 Years of Black Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Writing

Edited by G. Winston James

This anthology marks the twentieth anniversary of Other Countries—a small organization endeavoring to create a powerful, far-reaching, deliberate legacy of Black queer expression. Voices Rising gathers more than sixty writers whose work forms an important bridge among members of Black LGBT communities, charting two decades of evolution, accomplishment and struggle. The poems, short stories, essays, interviews and dramatic excerpts gatherered here exemplify the personal, political and cultural complexities of identity, desire, family and commmunity. In these pages established authors appear alongside emerging talents and heretofore unknown artists to compelling, historic effect. No other anthology so effectively represents the depth, breadth and brilliance of the current generation of Black lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender writers.

Soft cover, 555pp, Contributers notes.
