If you are a lesbian and you are a writer, then you might be thinking of purchasing a pen. You will want a pen that has a beautiful design and is comfortable to use. This article will tell you more about the different types of pen that are available, and will help you choose one that is right for you.
Fountain Pen and the Typewriter
Typewriter Art: A Modern Anthology chronicles the history of the typewriter as a medium. It includes interviews with prominent artists who work in the field today. The book also includes artwork dating back to nearly 130 years.
Laurence King is an English publisher and graphic artist. He has written graphic biographies of Salvador Dali and Saul Bass, as well as 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design. In addition to being a prolific author, he is a filmmaker and a member of the Indie Powerhouse, the British Film Academy. His latest project, Typewriter Art: A Modern Anthology, explores the evolution of the typewriter as an art form.
Initially marketed as a machine to supersede the pen, the typewriter became a valuable tool for writers. The speed of communication on paper dramatically increased when the typewriter was available in the late 1800s.
Stir-fry vs Hood
Emma Donoghue’s debut novel, Stir-fry, explores lesbian identity in contemporary Dublin. The narrative is framed by the death of Pen O’Grady’s love partner, Cara Wall, in a car accident. It is the story of a middle-aged lesbian struggling to come to terms with her lost love.
Donoghue’s works were published over a period of twenty years, and chart the evolution of lesbian sexuality in Irish society. Her works highlight the emergence of non-stigmatised lesbian sexuality, as well as the development of a lesbian feminist community.
Donoghue’s second novel, Hood, explores the difficulties of a lesbian relationship. The story is narrated over one week. In a surprisingly realistic way, the characters are able to provide an uplifting glimpse of lesbian love.
Donoghue’s third and final novel, Landing, addresses Irish lesbians in the wake of the Marriage Referendum. As a result, it is a powerfully relevant novel.
Mary Dorcey
Mary Dorcey was Ireland’s first openly lesbian writer and is one of the country’s most prolific poets and poetesses. Her name has become synonymous with the LGBT genre and her book The Girl in the Well is a definite must read. She has won numerous awards for her poetry including the Irish Times Poetry Prize and the National Arts Awards for Poetry. With a new collection of poems being published in November, Dorcey is certainly a busy lady. However, she still finds time to write a blog about her experiences as an LGBT poet and her views on the state of the art.
She was also among the first lesbians to get published in the US and has been featured in the NYT and the Guardian as a queer cultural luminary. In a recent interview, she said she has no regrets about her life.
Larry Kramer
Larry Kramer is an American writer. He’s one of the most prominent AIDS activists in history. His work has been compared to that of the New York Times coverage of AIDS during the ’80s.
In 1978, Larry Kramer published Faggots, a satirical novel that looked at the gay community in New York City in the 1970s. Initially, the book caused controversy. Some critics thought it misrepresented the gay community, while others thought it was a good look at the early days of gay liberation.
While Faggots did not reach the heights of Kramer’s later works, it was a major contribution to the gay scene in New York. It is often regarded as one of the first AIDS-related satires.
In the 1980s, Kramer saw the AIDS epidemic spread among his friends. He began to feel frustrated with the lack of attention being paid to the AIDS crisis. He helped establish the Gay Men’s Health Crisis. The GMHC was the first organization dedicated to raising funds for AIDS treatment.
