In The Lonely Letters, A tells Moth: "Writing about and thinking
with joy is what sustains me, daily. It nourishes me. I do not
write about joy primarily because I always have it. I write about
joy, Black joy, because I want to generate it, I want it to emerge,
I want to participate in its constant unfolding." But alongside
joy, A admits to Moth, come loneliness, exclusion, and unfulfilled
desire. The Lonely Letters is an epistolary blackqueer critique of
the normative world in which Ashon T. Crawley-writing as
A-meditates on the interrelation of blackqueer life, sounds of the
Black church, theology, mysticism, and love. Throughout his
letters, A explores blackness and queerness in the musical and
embodied experience of Blackpentecostal spaces and the potential
for platonic and erotic connection in a world that conspires
against blackqueer life. Both a rigorous study and a performance,
The Lonely Letters gestures toward understanding the capacity for
what we study to work on us, to transform us, and to change how we
inhabit the world.
