J-FLAG Co-Founder Thomas Glave reflects on fifteen years...

“Regarding Thoughts of (_______)” by Thomas Glave in Among the Bloodpeople
Thomas Glave's Among the Bloodpeople — a 2014 Lambda Literary Award Finalist (nonfiction), part of the 2014 Over the Rainbow List, a Publishers Weekly Pick of the Week and a blackballoonpublishing Best Book of 2013 — is a brilliant essay collection that does not shy away from hard truths. Whether confronting Jamaica’s prime minister on antigay bigotry, contemplating the risks and seductions of “outlawed” sex, exploring a world of octopuses and men performing somersaults in the Caribbean Sea, or challenging repressive tactics employed at the University of Cambridge, Glave expresses the observations of a global citizen with the voice of a poet.
