MK Chavez

 —And now for little news

Kendra Steiner Editions has released NEXT EXIT #9–a collaboration chap between john sweet and myself. It was an interesting experiment…Getting between the sheets with john sweet is as delicious as anyone who’s ever read his prolific work could imagine. Please support KENDRA STEINER EDITIONS (it’s a little firecracker of a small press) and check out their website!

Both NEXT EXIT #9 and my previous chap “Visitiation”(also with Kendra Steiner Editions) have been reviewed by Scot Young. Check out Scot Youngs Blog site MidwestPoets for the review of NEXT EXIT# 9. You can find Scot’s review of at “Visitation”OUTSIDER WRITERS (another literary good time!)

The Home Of Truth, 1300 Grand St., Alameda

Saturday, Sept. 13, 6:30–10:00 p.m.

Featuring MK Chavez,

who writes about the beauty that can be found in ugliness, the mystery of feeling bad about feeling good, little birds and big consequences.  She has two chapbooks “Virgin Eyes,” and “Visitation.”  She is co-host of Acker’s Dangerous Daughters, a San Francisco reading series of Cherry Bleeds Literary Journal. 

    “MK Chavez is a fellow Gemini writer.  As a poet, her words cut to the bone … revealing the pithy passions, sorrows, and dark intricacies of life’s convoluted journey!  She is intensely brilliant, provocative, charming, revealing and proud!  I know you will be seduced by her  genius!”

    Linda Zeiser: Producer and Host

 Find out more about her poetry at www.littlebrownsparrow.com.

We also welcome Madame Bordeaux, the eclectic musical trio whose sounds both haunt and titillate!  Other guests include Laura Zucker and Amy Meyers!
