    He lives alone with his cat Gracie. And he’s a postman. At least he was a postman until, three months before his sixty-fifth birthday, he receives a letter from the Royal Mail thanking him for decades of service and stating he is being forced into retirement. At once, Albert’s sole connection with his world unravels. Every day as a mail carrier, he would make his way through the streets of his small English town, delivering letters and parcels and returning greetings with a quick wave and a “how do?” Without the work that fills his days, what will be the point? He has no friends, family, or hobbies—just a past he never speaks of, and a lost love that fills him with regret. And so, rather than continue his lonely existence, Albert forms a brave plan to start truly living. It’s finally time to be honest about who he is. To seek the happiness he’s always denied himself. And to find the courage to look for George, the man that, many years ago, he loved and lost—but has never forgotten. As he does, something extraordinary happens. Albert finds unlikely allies, new friends, and proves it’s never too late to live, to hope, and to love.

    Published or forthcoming in forty territories, it has sold more than one million copies worldwide. Now Stuart returns with Young Mungo, his extraordinary second novel. Both a page-turner and literary tour de force, it is a vivid portrayal of working-class life and a deeply moving and highly suspenseful story of the dangerous first love of two young men.Growing up in a housing estate in Glasgow, Mungo and James are born under different stars--Mungo a Protestant and James a Catholic--and they should be sworn enemies if they're to be seen as men at all. Yet against all odds, they become best friends as they find a sanctuary in the pigeon dovecote that James has built for his prize racing birds. As they fall in love, they dream of finding somewhere they belong, while Mungo works hard to hide his true self from all those around him, especially from his big brother Hamish, a local gang leader with a brutal reputation to uphold. And when several months later Mungo's mother sends him on a fishing trip to a loch in Western Scotland with two strange men whose drunken banter belies murky pasts, he will need to summon all his inner strength and courage to try to get back to a place of safety, a place where he and James might still have a future.Imbuing the everyday world of its characters with rich lyricism and giving full voice to people rarely acknowledged in the literary world, Young Mungo is a gripping and revealing story about the bounds of masculinity, the divisions of sectarianism, the violence faced by many queer people, and the dangers of loving someone too much.

    Until the turn of this century, all that survived of Sappho's poetry was one complete poem, the first 17 verses of another, and a hundred fragments. Since then, the discovery of an additional hundred fragments on Egyptian papyruses has increased knowledge of Sappho's poetic range as a result of several substantially complete poems. Although Powell's work may be of greatest interest to scholars, his translations are natural and faithful to Sappho's Greek, employing limpid, undecorated language consistent with the poet's distinctive personal style. According to Powell, "Sappho may be said to have invented the literate lyric for Western literature, and as an artist she is without doubt our contemporary." His afterword includes information on Sappho's life, the text of her poetry, the sapphic stanza and other Aeolic meters, and the techniques of translating Sappho. - ALA Booklist

    "How can you consider yourself a Christian when you are also gay?"In this 24-page booklet, Mel White puts forward these eight premises: 1. Most people have not carefully and prayerfully researched the Biblical texts used by some people to condemn God's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender children. 2. Historically, people's misinterpretation of the Bible has left a trail of suffering, bloodshed, and death. 3. We should be open to new truth from Scripture. Even heroes of the Christian faith have changed their minds about the meaning of various Biblical texts. 4. The Bible is a book about God. The Bible is not a book about human sexuality. 5. We miss what these passages say about God when we spend so much time debating what they say about sex. 6. The Biblical authors are silent about homosexual orientation as we know it today. They neither approve it nor condemn it. 7. The prophets, Jesus, and the Biblical authors say nothing about homosexual orientation as we understand it today. But, they are clear about this one thing. As we search for truth, we are to "Love one another." 8. Whatever some people believe the Bible seems to say about homosexuality, they must not use that belief to deny homosexuals their basic civil rights. To discriminate against sexual or gender minorities is unjust and un-American.

In an effort to make Julian's life easier, his best friend Isaiah Holloway hires the strangely-all-knowing class troublemaker (and self-proclaimed "Godfather of High School") Landon Addison to help them find the true identity of Sydney Morgan. Unfortunately, the hired "help" is more the hired "complete-opposite-of-help"... but maybe all the trouble is worth it to meet the author of Julian’s dreams.On the exciting Mission: Identify Sydney Morgan, Julian learns who his true friends are, what love is (the real, not-based-on-obsession kind), and that there are more important things in life than Sydney Morgan (gasp!).

    Tucked away out of sight is Roman Labs, a former aerospace-turned-consumer tech company which fell into obscurity after the Space Race and survives by lagging behind the 80s tech boom.This is where Rafael (fresh out of high school,) Royal (flunked out of business school,) and their friends grew up, where Kas (unsung astrophysicist) will beach themself.

    Echoes of timeless myth and folklore reverberate through urgent narratives of discovery, appetite, and coming-of-age in a time of crisis.In “The Changeling,” two young cousins wait in dread for a new family member to arrive, convinced that he may be a dangerous supernatural creature. In “Endangered Animals,” Jane prepares to say goodbye to her almost-love while they road-trip across a country irrevocably altered by climate change. In “Take Only What Belongs to You,” a queer woman struggles with the personal history of an author she idolized, while in “Fiddler, Fool, Pair,” an anthropologist is drawn into a magical—and dangerous—gamble. In the title story, partners Agnes and Geb feast peacefully on the mushrooms that sprout from Agnes’s body—until an unwanted male guest disturbs their cloistered home.Audacious, striking, and wholly original, Fruiting Bodies offers stories about knowledge in a world on the verge of collapse, knowledge that alternately empowers or devastates. Pulling beautifully, brazenly, from a variety of literary traditions, Kathryn Harlan firmly establishes herself as a thrilling new voice in fiction.

    Kramer has always looked to films as a mirror to see how gay and lesbian life is represented. Independent Queer Cinema collects 100 of Kramer's reviews and interviews (from 1999 to 2004) that celebrate the latest "queer wave" of actors, writers, and directors. These are films and filmmakers to be discovered and discussed—from the independent American hit Kissing Jessica Stein and the provocative foreign gem Come Undone, to tantalizing insights from Stephen Fry and Tilda Swinton. Independent Queer Cinema is a valuable reference guide as well as an entertaining compilation of Kramer's astute reviews and interviews. There's no shortage of great gay and lesbian films-if you know where to look. Independent Queer Cinema is your guide to the films and personalities that deserve more attention, more respect, and more success, with a special focus on the foreign and low-budget gems that can slip past without a second look. Kramer, whose work regularly appears in the Philadelphia Gay News, the San Francisco Bay Times, and on Indiewire.com, uncovers films that bring honest representations of the queer lifestyle to the screen, exploring sexuality and identity through issues such as coming out and finding one's place in the world. He talks with filmmakers and actors who aren't afraid to explore gay male sexuality on screen, including queer directors whose films feature mainly straight characters, straight filmmakers who tackle queer subject matter, new queer filmmakers whose work has—so far—had very little theatrical exposure, and both gay and straight actors who've played both gay and straight characters. Independent Queer Cinema includes interviews with: John Greyson, who discusses the difficulties making the stylish and provocative Proteus Javier Bardem, who talks about his Oscar-nominated portrayal of Cuban poet Renaldo Arenas in Before Night Falls Steve Guttenberg, who discusses why he choose the cult classic novel P.S.: Your Cat Is Dead for his directorial debut Andrew Jarecki, who talks about his thought-provoking documentary, Capturing the Friedmans Margaret Cho, who takes a rather serious look at comedy and the appeal of Notorious C.H.O. . . . And reviews of 60 films, that range from hot and sexy to thoughtful and sensitive to just plain offensive, including: Burnt Money, a stylish crime melodrama from director Marcelo Piñeyro Swimming Pool, a deliciously sinister character study starring Charlotte Rampling The Rules of Attraction, Roger Avary's adaptation of the novel by Bret Easton Ellis A Dirty Shame, John Waters' return to the decadence of his earlier flms Elephant, Gus Van Sant's chilling and disturbing take on the Columbine High School massacre Far From Heaven, a brilliant homage to the domestic melodramas of the 1950s Mambo Italiano, an over-the-top, laugh-out-loud comedy and many more! Independent Queer Cinema provides you with the best seat in the house for a wise, witty, and insightful collection of reviews and interviews that reflect the current state of gay and lesbian filmmaking.

    

    

    A story from Tavamara verse, about a young man miserable with the life he’s been ordered to live, and the prince who inadvertently gives him a glimpse of what he really wants… Author’s note: story contains a threesome

    The only problem is that for all of my twenty-eight years of life, I was the definition of heterosexuality. So why did he make me feel so weak in the knees? There was a strange magnetic pull between us— as he moved, I moved. When he stepped toward me, the force of the earth compelled me forward toward him, and I prepared for the inevitable. His soft lips felt like coming home after a long vacation.Why did he make me feel just like a naïve schoolgirl? Why did I dream of his touch? I wanted to resist him. I wanted to be the perfect boyfriend to his sister, never straying. Isn’t that what she deserved? But I’m not so sure I can keep my head buried in the sand, continuing on with the status quo. I didn’t even know what was normal anymore. I didn’t know what was right and what was wrong. Who made these rules that were so hard to abide by?In Patrick’s world, we were normal— what was right, but also what was wrong. I never knew that one kiss could change the course of a life until I met him. I never knew what love felt like; I had only been pretending. Acting at life, cast in a part I thought I had no other option but to play. I wanted to live a life, not just play role. Little did I know, all I had to do was let go.“Isn't something good worth fighting for?""Are we something good?""I know we are, or at least that we can be."Please Note: This book contains Adult Language & Steamy Adult Activities, it is intended for 18+ Adults Only.

Yet there's more to this arrangement than Senzou would ever tell, and while each night Six sleeps alone...he finds himself falling more and more beneath this mysterious, black-eyed behemoth's quiet spell. Especially when he discovers... Senzou Ueda is the architect of Six's darkest desires. Every hunger. Every longing.

In each other, they find the answer to unspoken, forbidden needs. In each other, they find kindred spirits. In each other...they find something broken. Something beautiful. But the love building between them has a time limit, and it's counting down—to the day when Six learns the truth. The real reason Senzou came for him. The hidden hand pulling both their strings... ...and the secret of the black tattoo.
