Drowning in Grief is a very real and raw memoir following the agony of suicide, the on-going collateral damage, overwhelming guilt, and devastating waves of grief that follow. Told through a series of journal entries, conversations, and poems, the author searches in desperation for answers. From hours after her mother's death to the first three years post mortem, readers are captivated by her story. Survivors of suicide can relate to her heartbreak all too well, yet find hope along her journey. Beautifully sorrowful, though the message is loud and clear- seek help, you are not alone.

Centered squarely on the Negro-white conflict, both Dutchman and The Slave are literally shocking plays--in ideas, in language, in honest anger. They illuminate as with a flash of lightning a deadly serious problem--and they bring an eloquent and exceptionally powerful voice to the American theatre.Dutchman opened in New York City on March 24, 1964, to perhaps the most excited acclaim ever accorded an off-Broadway production and shortly thereafter received the Village Voice's Obie Award. The Slave, which was produced off-Broadway the following fall, continues to be the subject of heated critical controversy.

This book explores the construction of identities within a lesbian group, outlining interactive tactics used in the production of mutually-negotiated norms of authenticity.
