Tonight ...

I'll be reading from "Eve's Rib" my collection of short stories that discuss sex and sexuality from seemingly feminine perspectives.

Where?
When She Speaks, I Hear the Revolution

When Salt Lake City's "When She Speaks I Hear the Revolution" debuted in May of last month, something amazing happened. Women of a variety of different backgrounds, trans women, gender queer/gender rebel artists came to take their place behind the mic. They took the opportunity that they had to make their voice heard. The power of an open mic is in celebrating the VOICE.

When She Speaks I Hear the Revolution aims to celebrate the words/performances of local women from all walks of the creative paths. Musicians, poets, comedians--all creative women are welcome here.

In addition to being a space where women can share their work with one another, When She Speaks...will be a venue of support and encouragement. It will be a place where we can network with each other and make things happen.

This open mic is inclusive of transgendered identities--mtf, ftm, genderqueer among others. The purpose of this open mic is to shine a light on the voices that -don't- get a lot of attention and encourage them to share their words and their art.

The event will be largely women-centered, but men are encouraged to be a part of the audience and support the performers!
