This facilitated group discusses books which feature queer characters/storylines as well as a strong attention to literary craft and style. May's book is More of this World or Maybe Another by Barb Johnson, which maps the lives of several New Orleanians who orbit Delia Delahoussaye's Laundromat on Palmyra Street, where saying hello and fighting can sound just alike. The title story finds a stoned teenage Delia longing to kiss a girl named Chuck in the belly of an empty oil tank, a makeshift sense-deprivation chamber that Delia thinks shakes you loose from yourself. By the end of the second story, "Keeping Her Difficult Balance," it's unclear whether Delia will ever escape her childhood identity. | 27

Why do people pray? For health or happiness? For guidance? Out of habit, or even a sense of duty? Perhaps, at times, for something worldly and material? Just what motivates prayer—and how does who a person is affect how she prays and what she prays for? Is prayer different for women of color than it is for others? Join Christal Jackson, editor of Women of Color Pray, to explore these questions and many more. | 28
