Way to boost the signal of lesser known beautiful things ♥️

[@CestKevvie]

Of course! His work was too good to keep to myself 💖

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

It's always such a shame when quality work goes out of print. I'm glad you could find a copy and really enjoy the poetry and essays. They sound powerful!

[@CestKevvie]

Oh yes Ceremonies was so powerful! I really hope you can find a copy!

[@GunpowderFictionPlot]

OMG When'd I get 700?? You really would love Ceremonies, rent it!!

Super spotlight, doubt I'd have heard of EH otherwise 🤩

[@CestKevvie]

Right? I hate that Essex Hemphill has been mostly lost to time. His work is too good to be forgotten!!

Thank you so much for this
I was looking for more queer black poetry.
