"It ranges in time and place from classical Athens to contemporary New York. It ranges in tone and content from celebration to satire. While the collection can ... be read for pleasure, ... also a record, a history of the different ways in which homosexual people have been seen and have seen themselves."

Quote from this book " Like when the burning sun doth rise / and drives the stars out from the skies / my very soul was turned to flame / when 'mongst the youths first Thendis came. / And still I burn and Thendis seek / though thick the hair upon his cheek / e'en though the sun of youth shall wane / to me sole light he'll e'er remain. " Strato, trans Sydney Oswald Secondhand booksellers |
