Poetic Obituaries: [William Brandon Lacy] Campos' poetry collection,

It Ain't Truth If It Doesn't Hurt, was published by Rebel Satori Press in 2011. His work also appeared in the anthology From Macho to Mariposa: New Gay Latino Fiction.

According to [the blog] Rod. 2.0, Campos delivered, on 6 November, the keynote address at Tufts University's annual Black Solidarity Day.

'It's time for us to realize that HIV stopped being a white gay disease a long time ago, it's now a black and Latin[o] disease and it's time to hold up our positive brothers and sisters as our own,' Campos said.
