I’ve known death…

I’ve known death…
A moving book about AIDS

It is impossible to read this collection without feeling an irresistible urge to live life to the fullest. Deeply lyrical, this poetic suite plunges us into the depths of human distress.

I’ve known death… is a powerful text that takes us on the author’s emotional roller coaster ride. Grappling with the doubt, apprehension, anxiety and fear inherent in death, he fights against the irrational urge to throw it all away.

The Grim Reaper, as sneaky and vile as ever, attacks everyone without discrimination based on age, gender or ethnicity. It often takes on the face of a loved one, or even a lover, to better defeat its victims.

For more than thirty-five years, it has been mercilessly decimating those who dare to fuck without protection.

Despicable AIDS, eternal accomplice of death, when will you stop ravaging our loved ones? When will you finally allow us to be happy and free?
