This extraordinary collection gathers together the most popular and gifted voices in gay fiction today. Compiled from works in progress and originals written especially for this collection, as well as previously published fiction, these brilliant stories come from such renowned writers as Robert Ferro, Andrew Holleran, Felice Picano and Edmund White; from such bright rising talents as Dennis Cooper, John Fox and Robert Gluck; and from some remarkable newcomers, including C.F Borgman, Kevin Killian and Wallace Parr.
Told from a variety of perspectives, these eighteen pieces examine the troubling questions that most concern gay men—and all of us: Is romance still possible? What are the ties that bind individuals in the face of adversity or death? And what can our desires teach us about our weaknesses and strengths? At once a lyrical, humorous and realistic portrait of contemporary gay sensibilities, Men On Men is a wonderful introduction to the latest works by America’s top and up-and-coming gay writers.

LITTLE DID IRINA TWEEDIE know that her trip to India in 1959, at the age of fifty-two, would mysteriously lead her to a Sufi master, and set her upon a journey to the "heart of earts," the Sufi path of realization.
Bhai Sahib's first request of her was to keep a complete diary of her spiritual training, everything, all the difficult parts, even all the doubts. He predicted that one day it would become a book and would benefit people around the world.
This diary spans five years, making up an amazing record of spiritual transformation, the agonies, the resistance, the long and frightening bouts with the purifying fires of Kundalini, the perseverance, the movements towards surrender, the longing, and finally the all-consuming love.
From a psychological viewpoint, the diary maps the process of ego dissolution, gradually unveiling the openness and love that reside beneath the surface of personality.
Mrs. Tweedie is the first Western woman to be trained in this ancient yogic lineage. Her story and experience testify that this teaching system can still be powerfully transformative today in our modern world.
IRINA TWEEDIE was born in Russia in 1907 and educated in Vienna and Paris. Following World War II she married an English naval officer, whose eath in 1954 led her on a spiritual quest. With a background in Theosophy, she traveled to India where she met a Sufi Master. She returned to England after his death in 1966. Views: 145

misunderstood. This book sets the record straight. Views: 103
Planet earth was no longer a pleasant place to live.-We were 50 light years from Old Earth when the ship’s computer
network alerted us. Every screen flashed three times, and Saul Gilpin’s voice
sounded a warning. “Listen carefully. The Universe is alive with beings whose minds
can and do reach through the space you are now in. It is not concepts that they
project, but raw emotion. No matter what comes to your minds, you must not
echo, you must not be afraid.”
We sat there in silence. I felt chilled. I thought of
mind-tendrils, reaching out to me, out from the burning suns, the icy
darknesses… Views: 90
