Synopsis
Includes winning stories and poetry from Chroma's first International Queer Writing Competition (judged by Alis Smith, Mark Doty, and Michael Arditti). Stories about intriguing relationships, loving relationships, strange relationships, and a young boy in drag. A Jewish woman mourns her Muslim lover and meets a German woman, a virtual threesome deals with tragedy, a lesbian accepts an offer from a male friend, and a man proposes marriage to his lover because of the perfect haggis.
