The Last Kind Word by David Housewright
Selling sex is a job that many people would never consider. But for the people who do sex work, pleasure is a business that sometimes sustains them and sometimes puts them at risk. In the second issue of the Red Umbrella Project's Prose & Lore, New Yorkers who have traded sex tell true stories of lessons learned, friendships with coworkers, unpleasant bosses, bodily functions, and more that make up their experiences in the industry.Gutsy wisdom permeates these pages. Prose & Lore brings together a keen array of lived experiences and authentic voices. - Amber Dawn, author of How Poetry Saved My Life: A Hustler's Memoir
This journal], simply by virtue of existing, is part of a larger project to counteract the stereotypes and stigma that works to threaten those in the sex industries. - Jessie Nicole, Tits & Sass
