Continued from Page 5
Hemphill said h<“ believes the subjects h<
i boose* lo svrite about arc not what atlrai is the
diverse audient its to his performances and allows
his work to lie appnw jilted In different r.u es and
genders
I don't know if it's the subjei t matter itself as
determination on im part to lie as honest ,is I
i an. Hemphill said, to make dist Insure to use
ms life as a lesson for not only myself to learn
from, hut hv extension, perhaps, that life is a use
fill lesson for others
If I usi deal ssith what I know that little
pier e of wfiat I knoss and deal svitll that as tie .!
I i .m Hemphill said, then that w ill draw to the
work those who understand or feel in some sort
of ssinpnths or might just lie t uriotis and find
that. Oli I'm learning something new at this mo
mimt
Hemphill said his work on the PBS dot omenta
rs 7'o/l^nes I 'nfied mas base helped to illtroduie
people to his art
Thf IS-minute documentary was about the ex
perien* es of hla* k gay men and was primarily an
autobiography ai ;n < otint of one man s life inter
spersod with the work of black gav poets, includ
ing Hemphill
Hemphill s appearances .it Ism i»l s< hools are un
i otmnon for him is he fimls ins work is liest pro
smiled to adults And although he speaks ,it
schools if invited. I don't feel like that's really
tile thrust of the work I'm trying to do "
Although Hemphill does not have children, he
is involved is ith his niwes and nephews "The
older nieces and nephews know their uncle is
gay he s.uil and that's been a deliberate part of
mv strategy with rm family
I don't want to see a generation coming from
my family that's perpetuating the kind of igno
rance I'm having to far e as an adult, he said
When they hear faggot' flying through the air
and certain language used pejoratively to
disernpower people, at least they will not acc ept
it. " he said
Hemphill's current projects include a novel and
an anthology of short fn lion about black gay men
