Crooked Letter i

Crooked Letter i offers a collection of first-person nonfiction narratives that reflect the distinct ‘coming out’ experiences of a complex cross-section of gay, lesbian, and transgendered Southerners from all walks of life and at different stages in their lives. The experiences represented here pivot around a central theme — finally finding language to understand one’s identity, and then discovering we were never the only ones. Revealing a vibrant cross-section of Southerners, the writers of these narratives have in common the experience of being Southern and different, but determined against all odds.
