Some Are Drowning

This first collection of poems enacts the struggle of a young black gay man in his search for identity.  Many voices haunt these poems: black and white, male and female, the oppressor’s voice as well as the oppressed.  The poet’s aim, finally, is to rescue some portion of the drowned and the drowning.
