Summary: In 1985, photographer Robert Giard set out to create an archive of portraits of gay and lesbian writers from across the United States.

This book contains 182 of the more than 500 portraits Giard made, and encompasses a broad range of literary genres: fiction, poetry, drama, personal narrative, history, criticism, and political/activist statements. Each portrait faces an excerpt of the writer's work, chosen by Giard in consultation with the writer.
