Synopsis

Diversity Has Always Been Central To Alaska Identity, As The State's Population Consists Of People With Many Different Backgrounds, Viewpoints, And Life Experiences. This Book Opens A Window Into These Diverse Lives, Gathering Stories And Poems About Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, And Queer Life Into A Brilliant, Path-breaking Anthology. In These Pages We See The Panoply Of Lgbtq Life In Alaska Today, From The Quotidian Urban Adventures Of A Family--shopping, Going Out, Working--to Intimate Encounters With Alaska's Breathtaking Natural Beauty.
