City Lights/Sister Spit - La serie de libros

Formed in 1994 by poets Michelle Tea and Sini Anderson, Sister Spit began as a weekly, girls-only open mic in San Francisco, at the height of the spoken word boom of the '90s. Sister Spit was one of the most popular events for queer women and Bay Area poets of all genders to attend, featuring writers such as Mary Gaitskill, Eileen Myles and Beth Lisick, as well as hundreds of up-and-coming and emerging writers. By 1997, Sister Spit took their show on the road, staging their cabaret-style literary performance in bars, art galleries, LGBT community centers, theaters, bookstores, and even discos to perform before enthusiastic audiences everywhere. In 2007, Sister Spit relaunched after a briefly quiet couple of years, with Tea leading the roadshow on the Sister Spit: The Next Generation tours. Now, the genre busting radicals of Sister Spit are set up to be published: the City Lights/Sister Spit imprint, edited by Michelle Tea, will publish 2-3 titles per year.. Think Lynda Barry meets John Waters meets Lydia Lunch meets Jean Genet, darkly hilarious and hopelessly radical, over-sexed with a tendency toward costuming. Get yourself ready to read aloud, and at the top of your lungs.
