Winner of the 1998 Lambda Literary Award for Photography and Visual Arts
In 1985 photographer Robert Giard set out to create an archive of portraits of gay and lesbian writers from across the United States. The result is the most extensive photographic record of the gay and lesbian literary community ever undertaken. This book contains 182 of the more than 500 portraits Giard has made. The collection underscores the diversity of the gay population and encompasses a broad range of literary genres: fiction, poetry, drama, personal narrative, history, criticism, and political/activist statements. Taken as a whole, the portraits and excerpts encompass the many-faceted history of the gay/lesbian experience in the United States over the past seventy-five years.
The book also features a foreword by Julia VanHaaften, Curator of Photographs at the New York Public Library; an introduction by Giard, "Self-Portrait of a Gay Reader"; an essay by Christopher Bram on gay writing; and an essay by Joan Nestle on lesbian writing.
Stirring and gorgeous.

reviewed Particular Voices: Portraits of Gay and Lesbian Writers on September 23, 2008 Particular Voices: Portraits of Gay and Lesbian Writers
Robert Giard's photography project of Gay and Lesbian writers succeeds not only as a documentary project but also artistically on its own photographic quality. My only wish is that the book was longer to include even more of his photographs (his NY Times obituary stated that he had completed nearly 600 portraits in this series.)
