Ojo

<p>To run for your life and be naked literally and figuratively; to be pursued by your past eyed and tracked by those you left behind; to be in a foreign environment all but penniless and stripped of privilege; to be queer and working class to boot; to feel the burden of loss keenly; and to know that somehow you have to start over create a new life connect with others and construct a home for yourself from scratch never mind you're completely clueless as to how--finding refuge in that storm is what <em>Ojo</em> is about. It surveys the many challenges that humans are confronted with as they face adulthood the traditions and laws that are by and large the product of old religion. <em>Ojo</em> is a celebration of possibilities of novel ways of creating a world even as the old ways continue to bear down and haunt a person. But most of all it's a story of finding love in the 1980's in the west in cowboy country at the beginning of the HIV pandemic. Ojo is the second volume in the Eldorado Trilogy.</p>
