Brother to Brother: New Writings by Gay Black Men
edited by
Essex Hemphill
Originally published in 1991, this collection of essays, poems, and short stories covers everything from coming out, to homophobia, to sex, to HIV/AIDS, and more, all told from the unique perspectives of over two dozen gay black men. The book was originally conceived by Joseph Beam, as a follow-up to his anthology In the Life: A Black Gay Anthology. When he died from complications of AIDS in 1988, Essex Hemphill took over the responsibility of editor. Brother to Brother was re-released in 2007 and is considered a classic in gay literature.
