Beyond Definition: New Writing from Gay and Lesbian San Francisco
Search in google:
\ Library JournalThere is an in-your-face quality to the pieces in this thin anthology of poems and short prose by some 50 writers. This is not mainstream gay and lesbian writing (like the "Men on Men" and "Women on Women" series), which helps make it bold, political, funny, and at moments profoundly sad. Here one can find aspects of what some refer to as the fringes of the gay and lesbian community: radical faeries, the transgendered, and folk into rough sex and body piercing. People of color and women are well represented. Susie Bright sums it up best in her introduction: "Beyond Definition is an entire volume dedicated to stories of sexual identity that weren't visible or understood before, let alone appreciated." Recommended for libraries and resource centers with established gay/lesbian collections.-Lee Arnold, Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia\ \
