Summary
Thirty-eight American scholars, poets, authors, and librarians contribute to this reference volume documenting the lives and works, and celebrating the collective achievement, of 62 gay male poets and playwrights in the U.S. Each of the alphabetically arranged entries includes a biography, discussion of major works and themes, an overview of the author's critical reception, and primary and secondary bibliographies. The featured artists include authors from diverse geographic locations and ethnic groups, well-known authors such as Edward Albee, Harvey Fierstein, Allen Ginsberg, Tony Kushner, James Merrill, and Terrence McNally, as well as lesser-known writers, those who came of age in the post- Stonewall U.S., and older authors whose works span several decades.
