Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-05 00:00:00 Matthew Bradstock This is one of my favorite lesbian anthologies for a reason: it covers the modern lesbian experience from all walks of life. There's the story of a couple that has been together for over twenty-something years, sitting on a porch anticipating dinner; First girl-crushes; and the pain of losing family members who refuse to accept a Carribean-American woman for who she is. Luckilly for her, her girlfriend eases her pain for home with Calloloo. I recommend this book to anyone who truelly appreciates the variety of lives we lead as African American lesbians.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-24 00:00:00 Bryan Morgan Filling and satisfying. I read this collection of love stories in one afternoon and I already want to re-read Callaloo. loved how each story wove a different part of a larger tapestry of black lesbian love. I found myself in just about every story even though these stories are not my own. I read these stories after falling absolutely and madly in love with Jam on the Vine, Barnett's 2015 novel. I highly recommend devoting a quiet afternoon to the stories in Callaloo.
