Two Tales: Jamali Kamali and ZundelState

Jamali Kamali, a book-length poem, explores the love between two men in 16th century India, their longing, separation, and death. Little is known about them, but their story has been passed down through generations. ZundelState, a novella in verse, unfolds in a repressive future where history is banned and dreaming has vanished. Joe, a rebellious lover of history, and Marianna, a model State worker, fall in love against all odds.

These tales of outsiders from the past and future echo each other, examining the power of imagination and the human spirit in the face of repression. For readers interested in LGBTQ+ historical fiction, dystopian verse, and stories that transcend time.
