Dispatches from Lesbian America

Dispatches from Lesbian America is a collection of short fiction and memoir from contemporary writers, some newly emerging and some well-known. Unique in recent lesbian anthologies, these thoughtful stories address themes meaningful to us in the modern world.

What sets this collection apart from other recent lesbian anthologies is its reach. The stories move across generation, race, region, and circumstance, and they are unified less by subject than by a shared insistence on being heard. The result is a book meant to be read slowly, one story at a time.

Our featured authors include: Charlene Allen, Mari Alschuler, Joan Annsfire, Roxanne Ansolabehere, Terry Baum, Xequina Maria Berber, Elizabeth Bernays, Lynn Brown, Giovanna Capone, Susan Clements, Elana Dykewomon, Haley Fedor, Joanne Fleisher, Pippa Fleming, Judy Grahn, Felicia Hayes, Lois Rita Helmbold, Chante Shirelle Holsey, Toke Hoppenbrouwers, Happy/L.A.

Rouff, Heath Atom Russell, Barbara Ruth, Mary Saracino, Cheela “Rome” Smith, Tess Tabak, and Polly Taylor, and one story submitted by a lesbian woman who chose to remain anonymous.
