  • Lyric: Poems Along a Broken Road (1999) -- Finalist, 1999 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Men's Poetry
    Lyric stirs the soul. Using images grounded in nature, it unveils and celebrates the wonderful in the everyday. Provocative and varied, it allows readers to travel along the "broken road" from exile to empowerment, loneliness to love, and loss to salvation. Not simply a random collection, but an honest and alchemic journey, Lyric weds the spiritual and the sensual, leading readers to a new place of understanding. It sings/speaks to all people who possess the capacity to hear the truth and to love.

  • Spirited: Affirming the Soul and Black Gay/Lesbian IdentityG. Winston James and Lisa C. Moore, eds. -- Finalist 2006 Lambda Literary Award for Religion/Spirituality
    In Spirited: Affirming the Soul and Black Gay/Lesbian Identity, more than 40 writers address the question of how same-gender-loving black people affirm themselves as sexual and spiritual people. These sacred narratives are a canon for survival--holy texts proclaiming the divinity of their lives, the righteousness of their love, and the sanctity of their being.

  • The Damaged Good (2006) -- Nominated, 2006 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Men's Poetry
    Lambda Literary Award nominated author G. Winston James returns to the literary landscape with The Damaged Good, a raw, moving poetry collection of searing, unapologetic honesty. Homophobia, sex, desire, longing and liberation mark the terrain of these terse, often unsettling poems. From the unwelcoming streets of Kingston, Jamaica to the parks of Brooklyn, New York, G. Winston James skillfully chronicles new times in black and gay history. The Damaged Good is one of the bravest, most authentic collections of poetry in years.

  • Voices Rising: Celebrating 20 Years of Black Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Writing (2007) with the Other Countries: Black Gay Expression artists collective
    Voices Rising: Celebrating 20 Years of Black Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Writing marks the twentieth anniversary of Other Countries --a small organization endeavoring to create a powerful, far-reaching, deliberate legacy of black queer expression. Voices Rising gathers sixty-five writers whose work forms an important bridge among members of black LGBT communities, charting two decades of evolution, accomplishment, and struggle. The poems, short stories, essays, interviews and dramatic excerpts gathered here exemplify the personal, political and cultural complexities of identity, desire, family and community. In these pages established authors appear alongside emerging talents and heretofore unknown artists to compelling, historic effect. No other anthology so effectively represents the depth, breadth and brilliance of the current generation of black lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender writers.
