We are coming home.
"The Black homosexual is hard pressed to gain audience among his hetero- sexual brothers; even if he is more talented, he is inhibited by his silence or his admissions. This is what the race has depended on in being able to erase homosexuality from our recorded history. The "chosen" history. But these sacred constructions of silence are futile exercises in denial. We will not go away with our issues of sexuality. We are coming home."
ESSEX
HEMPHILL wrote Earthlife, Bedside
Companions, and Conditions. Continuing the early editorial work of Joseph
Beam's In the Life, Essex compiled and edited the partner collection, Brother
to Brother. His works have also appeared in numerous newspapers and journals,
as well as in the award-winning documentaries Tongues Untied and Looking
for Langston, and excerpts are anthologized in a host of books, ranging from
Gay and Lesbian Poetry in Our Time to Growing Up Gay/Growing Up
Lesbian.
