Description

In The Lonely Letters, A tells Moth: "Writing about and thinking with joy is what sustains me, daily.

It nourishes me. I do not write about joy primarily because I always have it.

I write about joy, Black joy, because I want to generate it, I want it to emerge, I want to participate in its constant unfolding." But alongside joy, A admits to Moth, come loneliness, exclusion, and unfulfilled desire.

The Lonely Letters is an epistolary blackqueer critique of the normative world in which Ashon T.

Crawley-writing as A-meditates on the interrelation of blackqueer life, sounds of the Black church, theology, mysticism, and love.

Throughout his letters, A explores blackness and queerness in the musical and embodied experience of Blackpentecostal spaces and the potential for platonic and erotic connection in a world that conspires against blackqueer life.

Both a rigorous study and a performance, The Lonely Letters gestures toward understanding the capacity for what we study to work on us, to transform us, and to change how we inhabit the world.
