<strong></strong>Charles Harvey writes about the lives people hide — and what those hidden lives cost them.<br>In his fiction, poetry, and plays, Harvey explores the divide between who we are in public and who we are in the dark. His characters are contradictory, compelling, and uncomfortably human — Black men navigating desire and danger, women confronting betrayal, souls caught between who they were raised to be and who they actually are.<br>A PEN Award-winning author whose work has appeared in Story Magazine and numerous anthologies, Harvey has been writing and publishing since the 1980s. He lives and writes in Houston, Texas.
