“find solace between blues and pinks
of sunset, lavender haze
creep up on time before it
does so to you”
j. g. bova, Not Ghosts, But Spirits III: art from the women's & lgbtqia+ communities

Dorothy Allison
“The Sex Wars are over, I've been told, and it always makes me want to ask who won. But my sense of humor may be a little obscure to women who have never felt threatened by the way most lesbians use and mean the words "pervert" and "queer." I use the word queer to mean more than lesbian. Since I first used it in 1980 I have always meant it to imply that I am not only a lesbian but a transgressive lesbian -- femme, masochistic, as sexually aggressive as the women I seek out, and as pornographic in my imagination and sexual activities as the heterosexual hegemony has ever believed.”
Dorothy Allison, Skin: Talking About Sex, Class & Literature. SIGNED.
