Nicole reviews A Good Death by Helen Davis
To begin: this book is very well written. The prose is crisp, adept, and emotionally evocative. I read the entire book in two absorbed sittings. It’s a refreshing piece of literature. It also, towards the end, gets crazy insane. Let’s start from the beginning. This novel covers the story of four close friends: Helen, Sophie,Read More
Danika reviews Gender Failure by Rae Spoon & Ivan E. Coyote
Ivan Coyote is one of my favourite authors, and this is actually the ninth book edited or written by them that I’ve read.

Rachel posted Happy Endings Are All Alike by Sandra Scoppettone
In 1978, a lesbian novel was published by Sandra Scoppettone, called Happy Endings Are All Alike. Though it’s almost four decades later, the book still hits home the prejudices, sexism, and hatred against gays and lesbians, and the plight of gays was just being acknowledged to the nation. In Gardener’s Point, a small narrow-minded town,Read More

Danika reviews Handmade Love by Julie R. Enszer
Back in January, I read another collection of Julie R. Enszer’s poetry: Sisterhood. I found that little poetry book so powerful that I was eager to pick up another collection of Enszer’s work. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy it as much. Sisterhood had several poems (one especially) that hit me so hard that I re-read them over and over,Read More
