Sage of a Young Mind (An Anthology)

The six other Deadly Sins and their corresponding ironically so-called Contrary Virtues are: Whether the precise terms bear relevance, the concepts certainly do. All of us--queer and straight alike--feel the push and pull of the conflicting forces competing for our attention. All of us struggle toward the virtuous while coming to terms with our sinfulness, whether we frame it in those terms or not. As human beings first, beyond sexuality and identity, we all try to elevate ourselves while remaining ever-present to what we are aiming to elevate ourselves from.

That is why, in this precious second volume of our flagship publication, we are proud no pun intended to welcome back several writers from the inaugural volume of the anthology. Huerta, this time with some fiction for us. There is even one writer, our dear friend playwright and poet Richard Ballon, who we welcome back for the third and hopefully not the last time!

In equal measure, we are delighted to welcome new writers to our family: It would be so much easier. Would you like to tell us about a lower price?
