Assotto Saint
Assotto Saint (October 2, 1957 - June 29, 1994) was a Haitian-born American poet, publisher and performance artist, who was a key
figure in LGBT and African-American art and literary culture of the 1980s and early 1990s.
Saint was born in Les Cayes, Haiti, on October 2, 1957, as Yves François Lubin. He moved to New York City in 1970, enrolling briefly
in a pre-med program at Queens College, but soon dropped out to pursue his artistic interests. He adopted the name Assotto Saint
around this time, choosing Assotto for a ceremonial drum used in Haitian Vodou rituals and Saint for Haitian revolutionary leader
Toussaint L'Ouverture.
