Our Caribbean: A Gathering of Lesbian and Gay Writing from the Antilles, edited by Thomas Glave, is featured in the Bay Area Reporter. They're looking forward to the collection's release in June and write, "Glave has gathered little-known writers and such established figures as Reinaldo Arenas, Audre Lorde, Michelle Cliff and Assotto Saint, and his contributors hail from the Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, Puerto Rico, St. Vincent, St, Kitts, Suriname and Trinidad. An excerpt from Arenas' Before Night Falls gets the action started, and titles from pieces we're still to read do titillate, such as the poem "Saturday Night in San Juan with the Right Sailors" by Rane Arroyo, and the story "We Came All the Way from Cuba So You Could Dress Like This?" by Achy Obejas."
this is a very good book
