Fugitive Color won the 1994 Audre Lorde Poetry Competition for Lesbians of Color. "These poems take us into the intensely intimate realms of desire, politics and survival. Chrysto's words are made sharp by the living traditions of her people and the edgy rhythms of urban life. Both draw us in to hear her stories of passion and injustice . . ." -Jewelle Gomez "Chrysto's poems in Fugitive Colors are made with the deep breath of passionate attention and friction. This book contains the avalanche of chaos and intensity, shadow's side and stark light . . ." -Elizabeth Woody
