Gay City: Volume One is a collection of fiction, poetry, comic art and photography published under the auspices of Seattle's Gay City Health Project. The anthology addresses Gay City's mission of preventing HIV transmission by building community, fostering communication, and nurturing self-esteem. Included here are author Tom Spanbauer's "Mr. Energy," written during the dark dawn of AIDS, alongside "25 Years, 25 Fears," drawn by "Ethan Green" creator, Eric Orner. Inside you'll also find an excerpt from novelist and syndicated columnist Michael Thomas Ford's novel "Full Circle," eight pieces from the award winning poet Peter Pereira, vibrant works from artist Donna Barr, plus many others.
