More about BOLD
David Hardy presents diverse stories to unsilence lives and put them in print. They add to the history of the LGBTI movement by adding in the power of the personal; life stories that make their mark. ‘I hope this book helps people understand who LGBTI people are and who we are not,’ says David. ‘We are not invisible. This collection of stories celebrates the myriad ways we identify as LGBTI people. I hope these stories will stir and agitate, comfort and caress, and make you mad and cry and laugh out loud.’
BOLD was launched in November 2015 and events continue to happen across Australia! Contact us if you are interested in having David or a member of The Rag & Bone Man Press speak at your event.
