RIP E. Lynn Harris (1955-2009)

I am thankful that E. Lynn Harris, who recently died, chose one of the essays that appeared in Fighting Words, the anthology that I edited in 1999, for his anthology, Freedom in the Village: 25 Years of Black Gay Men's Writing. The essay he selected for inclusion was Don Jackson's "The Letter," a military love story. I am glad he found the essay worthy of inclusion. Harris's anthology later won a Lammy in the Gay Men's Anthology category.
