Four literary artists “in the spirit of Carolee” read and perform their work on Thursday and Friday evenings, October 20 and October 21 at 7:00. This reading is co-presented with the University of Washington, Bothell’s Writing For Their Lives Author + Conversation series and MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics. Professor Jeanne Heuving will conduct a conversation with the writers and you, our audience, at the conclusion of the reading.
Dodie Bellamy is a novelist, poet, critic and cultural journalist. Her most recent book is the buddhist (Publication Studio), an essayistic memoir based on her blog, Belladodie. Her book Cunt-Ups won the 2002 Firecracker Alternative Book Award for poetry.
Kevin Killian has written two novels, Shy (1989) and Arctic Summer (1997), a book of memoirs, Bedrooms Have Windows (1990), and three books of stories, Little Men (1996), I Cry Like a Baby (2001), and Impossible Princess (2009); two books of poetry, Argento Series (2001), and Action Kylie (2008). New projects include Screen Tests, an edition of Killian's film writing, a novel Spreadeagle, and a book of Killian’s intimate photographs, Tagged, to appear in the spring.
Rebecca Brown’s twelfth book, American Romances, a collection of gonzo “essays,” was released by City Lights in 2009 and won the Publishing Triangle Award. Some of Brown’s other titles include The Last Time I Saw You, The End of Youth, The Dogs, and The Gifts of the Body. She is currently writing a group of short parables, monologues and what Mother Julian of Norwich called "shewings."
Carla Harryman is a poet, essayist, novelist, and playwright. She has recently published The Wide Road, a multi-genre collaboration with poet Lyn Hejinian. Her critical writing focuses on contemporary innovative writing by women and the politics and poetics of Poets Theater and performance writing. A frequent collaborator, she is co-contributor to the multi-authored experiment in autobiography The Grand Piano, a project that focuses on the emergence of Language Writing, art, politics, and culture of the San Francisco Bay Area between 1975 and 1980.
