Kalamu's Feminist Erotica
Summaries
1) "Raoul's Silver
Song " (Street Lights, ed. Martin
Simmons;1996) -- that's in an anthology called street lights, edited by martin
simmons (if i remember his name correctly). one of the few stories i have
published that has a new orleans setting.
2) "Do
Right Women " (Dark Eros, ed. Reginal Martin;
1999) -- an essay on classic blues singers of the 20s -- all of whom were women.
that's in dark eros. when you read it you will understand why i suggest you deal
with it.
3) "Murder" (Obsidian II; date?) -- that's in
obsidian ii. it's a short story but it's not fiction per se, even though that's
the category it's put in. about a friend who was the victim of an armed robbery.
4) "Could
You Wear My Eyes ?" (Dark Matter: A
Century of Speculative Fiction, 2001)
5) "Where
Do Dreams Come From" (late 60s-early 70s) --
that's in an obscure, speculative fiction literary journal. it is from the late
sixties, early seventies. would be could also to show how long these concerns
have been evident in my published fiction.
6) "Another
Duke Ellington Story " (published in Italy; journal?; date?)
-- that's been published in italy. i don't even know the name of the journal,
but i can find out and get the publication date. the story is about duke ellington, but the focus is on a female audience member.
7) "Forty-Five
Is Not So Old " (Dark Eros, 1999) -- that's in
the anthology dark eros, but i think it is listed under a pseudonym
that the editor used because he was also using some of my poetry and a rather
long essay.
8) "I
Sing Because..." (Essence, 1999) -- i sing
because... that's in a journal that came out once, called "anasi" and
was later picked up and is in the december 1999 issue of essence magazine. it's
a piece about an enslaved sister who decides she is not going to have any more
children.
9) "Sister Bibi" (We Be Word Sorcerers, 1973) -- in
the we be word sorcerers anthology, edited by sonia sanchez. that's from way
back in the game. early 70s if i'm not mistaken. one of my early fiction
publications. it will give you a perspective on the published fiction
around the theme of women.
10) "Just Like a Woman" (Kente Cloth, edited by James Mardis, 1997) -- that's in an anthology called kente cloth. despite it's title,
the main characters are men but it deals with the social definition of what it
means to be a woman.
11) "the roses are beautiful..." that's in
afterhours,
which i still haven't seen. but you have.
