A Loving Testimony: Remembering Loved Ones Lost to AIDS
A LOVING TESTIMONY is a collection of first-person essays and poems that speak about the experience of losing somebody you love to AIDS. Parents, children, siblings, spouses, friends, lovers, neighbours and co-workers remember those they have lost: men, women and children from all races, religions, professions, nationalities, economic backgrounds and sexual preferences. Each story is a loving testimony to a person who is gone but not forgotten: a person who lived and whose life mattered. Among the 77 writers who have contributed to the book are Maureen Brady, Felice Picano and Jewelle Gomez.

I can't believe this book hasn't been reviewed!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I feel funny writing this review, as the book was published 6 years ago, is out of print, and I am a contributor. I'm just very sad the book did not receive more attention; it is a beautifully-compiled collection of pieces which represent the broadest range of human connections with people with AIDS. Reading it is akin to wandering through an exhibition of the Names Project quilt--one is overwhelmed by the diversity of sufferers and their loved ones, and especially by the personal details which define each and every one of the now-missing. I hope if anyone reads this you might get your hands on the book. Leslea Newman is to be commended for the fact that she managed to edit a book about the dead and infuse every page with LIFE.
