  • Weight of the Earth: The Tape Journals of David Wojnarowicz

    by David Wojnarowicz

    “It’s just a real gentle moment. I’m here by myself and I don’t mind. I kind of wish it could just stay like this for maybe a few years, or I just never moved out of this spot. I could just watch the light stay like this. And maybe somebody coming along and just putting their arms around me for a few minutes.”

  • Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintegration

    by David Wojnarowicz
