Cosgrove Norstadt

Cosgrove Norstadt is a writer, activist, and living archive of love, loss, and survival. Cosgrove was the first volunteer caregiver at St. Clare’s Hospital in New York City during the AIDS epidemic — a time when showing up was revolutionary. His essays are now permanently housed at the AIDS Monument & Museum, where his voice speaks for a generation too often silenced.
