The LGBT Issue

In honor of LGBT Pride month, this quarter’s installment of Dig Deep features LGBT writers from our workshops at New Alternatives, SAGE and WPA, with guest contributors Eileen Myles, Joan Larkin, Gerry Gomez Pearlberg and Charles Geer Austin. With themes ranging from love and death to God and dreams, this issue paints a picture of the diversity of NYC’s LGBT community.
