FAR narratives and other stories

Over the years I have been published in so many journals and anthologies that I have lost track  of most of them.   In this section are a few that immediately come to mind... and as time goes there will probably be more added. Downloadables will attached when possible, and can be made available on request.

I would like to bring to the floor a couple of publications which map the evolution of the FAR (fugitive archetype of resistance) Narrative as it relates most specifically to WOC (women of colour).

In 2012  FAR: a Metaphorical Narrative was published in the pioneering work: Little Book Big  Visions:  How To Be An Artist and Revolution the World. Click here to find out more about this book.

In 2013 a book "NotNow! Now ; Chronopolitics, Arts and Research,  anti-lecture essay FAR : We Go Back to the Future to Tell Our Stories.  This anthology documents presentations given at NOTNOW! NOW conference held in  in Vienna, one of the forerunners of contemporary discussion on  queer, anti-colonial, and feminist takes on western chronopolitics (the politics of time).    Click here to find out more.

The First short story I ever published KALEIDOSCOPE  was in the ground breaking  anthology Afrekete: An Anthology of Black Lesbian Writing, Anchor Books 1995.  Find out more about this book here
