new publication / WisCon schedule
May. 6th, 2014 11:32 amMy poem about Bride of Frankenstein, "she's alive, alive," is in the new issue of Apex Magazine. It's the second poem of mine to refer to Elsa Lanchester; let's see if I can finish the poem I'm working on about Una O'Connor!
Here is my WisCon schedule. It is rather light, which is fine with me. Both my events are on Friday (before the jetlag wears off but before exhaustion sets in?).
Fri, 2:30–3:45 pm: Feminist Utopias Redux
In the 1970s and 80s, Women's Studies classes had courses on "Feminist Utopias," which read Herland and Les Guerilleres, Woman on the Edge of Time and The Female Man, and several others, and speculated about the future of feminism. Some of us remember those classes; others have read the books at some time or other. Let's go back and examine them, and see which ones the "suck fairy" has visited, and which ones are relevant in the 21st century.
Fri, 9:00–10:15 pm: Spindles and Spitfire
Join us for a reading packed full of sinister whimsy, folkloric sensibilities, dark humor, and SNACKS! Lisa Bradley dances with the skeletons in her closet. Gwynne Garfinkle is a red headed hellion who will capture your heart and put it in a jar above her writing desk. Shira Lipkin has returned from the castle beyond the goblin city. She brought you a present. Patty Templeton does not appreciate when ghosts keep her up at night.
