Ever After

Fiction

“In each of these charming counterfactual biographies, chance extends the life of a famous writer of homophilic inclination. Andrew Ramer taps his many skills—poet, novelist, seer, chronicler of queer culture—to imagine his subjects living openly and enjoying plausible, pleasurable second acts. They write books that we, alas, will never read. But these tales, delightful in their domestic simplicity, are here to remind us that what we long for could be just around the corner.”

Our Tribe Chanting

Men

“Eli Ramer’s message for gay men is radical, as in the Latin word for root: We have always been here, and are here for a purpose, each and all of us. These essays range from mytho-history to autobiography to valuable guidance on how to be—and how to be together. Generations have been moved and empowered by Ramer’s previous books. Our Tribe Chanting will refresh and recenter that knowledge. Your first encounter? Prepare for change.”

History & Biography

“Andrew Ramer has been seeing things that ‘aren’t there’ since he was in the womb. If you see things too, you must read this book. You probably won’t find that your visions are the same as his. But you’ll learn something powerful from his openness. Ramer’s message: Even when they are unsettling, they offer us not danger but revelation.”
