11/16 Wednesday, Week 8: Elisabeth Houston

11:30- 1:00 PM  Zoom link: https://evergreen.zoom.us/j/89462123483

   

Elisabeth Houston is a multidisciplinary artist and poet who is touring with a new book, Standard American English which brings readers deep into the world of baby, a persona she has been developing in performance contexts for nearly a decade. The poems in this debut collection emerge from the abject dialectic of baby’s psyche—where a self in formation staggers under the weight of sexual abuse, body image dysmorphia, rapacious materialism, fame obsession, and racial fetishism. What is witnessed here is the way late capitalism unfolds brutal games of power, affecting all dimensions of life, with the potential to consume and ravage individual actors, as well as entire communities and cultures. — Khadijah Queen
