Elsa I Come With My Songs the Autobiography of Elsa Gidlow

Lesbian poetry. The New Woman's Survival Sourcebook wrote: "Listeners are completely captivated by her -- captivated not only by lyrics so stunningly passionate and eloquent as to inspire the great Sappha herself -- but also by the sense that in this fragile and exquisitely beautiful older woman reside the strength and potency of our shared values, spanning generational differences and linking each of us in a continuum."

On a Grey Thread is the groundbreaking poetry collection of Elsa Gidlow - the first in North American history to openly express lesbian desire. Both personal and political, Gidlow's poems express the poet's complex feelings as a young woman whose political ideology and sexual identity ran counter to the traditional values of her time. Opening her collection with "The Grey Thread," Gidlow expresses herself with ornamental imagery, decorating her drab existence with the colorful beads of her personal identity. Employing the double meaning of "gay," offering a brief erotic "moan" on the precipice of enjambment, Gidlow stretches her stanza to its sinful conclusion, recalling Eve's temptation in the Garden of Eden. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Elsa Gidlow's On a Grey Thread is a classic work of lesbian literature reimagined for modern readers.
