 "GHOST BODY" is a personal meditation on the ambivalences of interracial male homosexuality. Caressing black hands trace a white body. Poems, letters and personal reminiscences evoke interracial encounters. Aimé Césaire conjures Robert Mapplethorpe s black male nudes in a poetic rendering of the word "nigger." Angry letters from a black man to his white suitor disavow interracial love. Snow falls and the wistful piano of Erik Satie s enfantines sets the mood for Claude McKay s evening with a visiting "snow fairy."
