Recently finished We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For by Alice Walker; I'd been way over due in reading it and felt embraced by the entire book, but particularly essay 6, "This Was Not an Area of Large Plantations: Suffering Too Insignificant for the Majority to See". <3
I just finished reading The Revisioners by Margaret Wilkerson Sexton. Still thinking about the characters, so not ready just yet to jump into something new!
I just started The War For Gloria by Atticus Lish and The Unwritten Book by Samantha Hunt — both full of sentences beautiful enough to make me tear up!
Hello All! Right now I am reading FIRE IN THE BELLY: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz, by Cynthia Carr. It's an incredibly well researched biography. David Wojnarowicz was what some would call an outsider, but he was very connected into NYC— a wonderful artist, activist, and writer who fought for gay rights during the AIDS epidemic. His book CLOSE TO THE KNIVES is one of my favorite books of all time. This is a long one, but well worth the read.https://lambdaliterary.org/2012/09/fire-in-the-belly-the-life-and-times-of-david-wojnarowicz-by-cynthia-carr/

Just reread The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton.
