Truth Be Bold
Serenading Life & Death in the Age of AIDS
In truth be bold, Julene T. Weaver stands at night in the open air and sings beneath the window of HIV, odes and elegies to the virus in her body, in her work, her life, her deaths, deaths of friends, lovers, social work clients, of aging and loving and mourning with HIV, of going on, day by day, one life passage at a time. It is the kind of testament and testimony that could only come from a witness who has lived a long time with the virus in her and all around her, a coming out story unlike any we have seen before. —Michael Broder, author of Drug and Disease Free and This Life Now
