 Bite
Hard by Justin Chin
Bite Hard, a collection of poetry, fiction,
and performance pieces by Justin Chin, weaves together a vision of
otherness that is unique in gay writing. Chin, who was born in
Malaysia, raised in Singapore, and is now living in San Francisco,
writes from queer pan-Asian experience: outsiderness times two.
Whether describing a series of bad ex-boyfriends (he has had seven
named Michael, each worse than the one before) or being pursued by
"rice queens" (white men interested only in Asian
lovers), Chin's authorial power resides in his ability to
articulate humor as well as rage in the reality of what it means
to be an Asian American homosexual in a country that valorizes
Caucasian heterosexuality. Witty, smart, and sexy, Bite Hard
is the work of a young artist finding his voice with passion and
intelligence.

main intersection in Toronto's vibrant gay village, is a quarterly

Gay Spirit Visions started as an outgrowth from
a series of Radical Faerie gatherings (which was the first hint of
a movement among gay men to consider what masculinity means to us)
that happened at Running Water farm near Asheville, North Carolina
in the late '70s and 80s.

By Alexandria North.
Alexandria created
this site to honor the works of those poets who, over the ages,
have written eloquently about romantic love between wome
n. While
some of these poets were honored for their work in their time,
others wrote on this topic at the cost of their literary careers,
never being appropriately recognized for their creations simply
because the material (or the poet herself) was lesbian. This page
brings their work out into the open, where it can educate people
about intimacy between women and women's writing, as well as
inspire the work of newer poets.
