Bøger af Jewelle Gomez

Jewelle Gomez explores the borders that might separate and contain our identities. In evoking the women who raised her and lived on those borders she takes us deep inside her reclamation of her Wampanoag/Ioway/Cape Verdean and Lesbian roots.

African American, Cabo Verdean/Wampanoag/Ioway all converge in Jewelle Gomez's exquisite collection of poetry that explores the legacies of family heritage, history, and identity. Gomez contemplates her sexuality, multi-ethnic and class identities, and what it means to experience love, loss, grief, friendship, and solidarity with other women during times of political upheaval. Gomez's poems are a gift: at times sumptuous and impassioned, and always striking in their clarity.

Before Buffy, before Twilight, before Octavia Butler's Fledgling, there was The Gilda Stories, Jewelle Gomez's sexy vampire novel.
