Description: A creative dialogue between a queer artist and a queer academic reminiscing about and thinking with their cruising experiences, Crossing takes queer sex practices seriously as ways of knowing and world-making. The result is an erotic hybrid form hovering between scholarship and avant-garde experimentation, between critical manifesto and sex memoir.

Review Quotes: "Finally, a book about cruising that is actually about friendship--sex and sensibility, desire as gateway to more connection, more critical engagement, more dreaming. Yes, Crossings rescues cruising from the drudgery of hyper-individualist masculinist posturing, invoking the sweet caress of ruined bodies against policing in all its forms. Guidebook, ode, invocation, and creative intervention, it's all here in this tender faggotry."--Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore "author of Touching the Art"
