Meetings are in-person encounters between two or more Anglophone LGBTQ+ writers in a particular location. Textual exchanges are connections established between Anglophone LGBTQ+ writers through their writing. These are instances where one Anglophone LGBTQ+ exile writer corresponded with another, read, reviewed, or saw another’s work, or simply alluded to another exile writer in their work without meeting in person.

On this graphic, you can use the toggle to select either the meetings or textual exchanges that connect LGBTQ+ exile writers to one another. The terms we use for sexual orientation on this graphic would not necessarily have been used by the LGBTQ+ exile writers themselves to refer to their identities.Read more.
