QUEER OPEN MIC ON FRIDAY

[emchy]

Fri, Mar 25: Luna Maia
A prolific, queer artist-innovator oriented towards issues of mixed heritage, feminism, and gender identity, Luna Maia has produced a series of 'zines entitled Marimacho, geared toward issues of racial isolation, mixed heritage and identity. The subject matter within addresses these issues with the frankness of anger and a vulnerable honesty.
Her first chapbook History of this Body: Bodies on Fire, is a seven year collection of early poetry. It explores issues of the heart, not limited to the passion of interpersonal relationships, but, also the idea of alternative family and personal community.
Her most recent chapbook Tortixa, put out this year, amasses a gathering of writing that is host to a faster pace of poetry. Overflowing with a driven new rhythm of desire and sex and living well, it brims with intensity.
Luna currently resides in the Richmond and can be found frequenting the myriad of spoken word offerings of the Bay.
