Lavender Bluegrass - Erin Slaughter - Bog

In the intersection of family, love, faith and identity, there is an unspoken question: How do we reconcile our bodies and desires with the landscape? Lavender Bluegrass is an anthology of work written by Southern LGBT+-identifying writers. From rural Virginia to the deep cities of Alabama, writers contribute their poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction to tell the stories of how the region they call home impacts their experiences and their understanding of self. This collection comes from the heart of the heartland, from people shaped by the American south's heat and breezes, rivers and concrete. Lavender Bluegrass contributes to the unbridled spirit of the region's rich literary history through presenting a diversity of voices, telling stories that for so long went untold.
