A sensual, dazzling introduction to the work of Kathleen Collins, a pioneering African-American filmmaker and writer whose fiction went unpublished in her lifetime.

It is the summer of 1963, and New York is filled with lovers and protestors. Young women grow out their hair and discover the taste of new freedoms. Young men, white and black, travel south to fight against segregation, dreaming of a society in which love is colour-free.

Written in the late 1960s and early 1970s but overlooked in Kathleen Collins's lifetime, these stories mark the debut of a masterful writer whose electrifying voice was almost lost to history.

Born in New Jersey in 1942, KATHLEEN COLLINS was an activist with SNCC during the Civil Rights Movement who went on to carve out a career for herself as a playwright and filmmaker during a time when black women were rarely seen in those roles. Though she is now considered a pioneer, Collins's work was overlooked and forgotten till 2015 when her film Losing Ground premiered at the Lincoln Center as part of a series on African-American filmmakers, and was hailed as a masterpiece. She died in 1988, aged just 46.
