Subject: African-American SGL Spirituality Anthology


It's been a little while since I made this announcement, but it ain't over
'til...'til it's over.  It seems like I've had more discussions about
spirituality in the last month and a half than ever.  In that spirit then, I
re-announce the Call for Submissions for SPIRITED.  As most of you already
know, SPIRITED is intended to be a collection of essays and short fiction on
the topic of Black Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Transgender spirituality.  It
will be an affirming work that carries the word of how we have seen our way
clear to loving ourselves totally--in the face of whatever Goddess, or God we
believe in and/or worship. While I have been receiving a variety of work, I
know that there are more stories out there to be told.  Again, whether God
for you is Allah, Buddha, Sister-mother or the Universe, there is something
in your experience that can make one of our brothers and sisters think and
say "Just maybe."  SPIRITED is intended to be another tool in our striving to
once again establish balance among the flesh, mind and spirit so that we may
eventually slough off the self-hatred, internalized homophobia, racism and
sexism in order to express our power more beautifully and our beauty more
powerfully.  It's all about spirit and love.

Work should be typed (double-spaced).  No more than 30 pages, unless
necessary.  And should be accompanied with an SASE for response.  Originals
will not be returned. Final decisions will not be made until I have
considered all of the submissions; therefore, please be patient.  The address
for mailing is:

G. Winston James
728 Sackett Street, 4R
Brooklyn, NY 11217

The new deadline is December 31, 1996.
