Another Mother Tongue by Judy Grahn

This celebration of gay culture, is a blend of poetry, legend, autobiography, and etymology is a fascinating account of gay life throughout history. A panoramic and stirring celebration of homosexual culture. Reads like a story, like a letter, like a conversaiton. After 10 years of research and writing the author retrieves the entire suppressed history and gives lesbian culture a mythology, heritage and their own language. Entertaining, rewarding, revolutionary and a landmark. A gay history and autobiography and a book of discovery and celebration of pain and courage, of humor and love. A multi-level historical presentation of gay life, past, present, and future.
