Title: must read for all
Review: Ceremonies brings to light the plight of gay black men in America. But this book is relatbale to all. Anyone who's ever been oppressed or marginalized can relate. The poetry is honest and incredibly raw and haunting. Its graphic in its talk about homosexuality and life in general, but its not gratuitious. Every word in this book is relevant and important. My favorite poem is "American Wedding." The pain and anguish of being gay in america, the beauty of loving someone is all evident in the poem. It is beautiful and still relevant today. Not for the faint of heart. But if you are looking for an honest, frank talk about homosexuality, the kind that doesnt just cater to white, middleclass men, then Essex Hemphill is your man.
