Jason McBride on Kathy Acker
Monday, December 11
Doors: 7pm
Reading: 7:30pm
~
The Poetic Research Bureau and Stories present the Los Angeles launch of Jason McBride's Eat Your Mind: The Radical Life and Work of Kathy Acker.
~
This event will feature a reading from the new paperback release of the book, a conversation with Anahid Nersessian, and a presentation of Kathy Acker's desk by Matias Viegener, the executor of her estate, upon its donation to The Poetic Research Bureau.
Acker was not just a singular writer, she was also a titanic cultural force who tied together disparate movements in literature, art, music, theatre, and film. A feat of literary biography, Eat Your Mind draws on exclusive interviews with hundreds of Acker’s intimates as well as her private journals, correspondence, and early drafts of her work, offering a thrilling account and a long-overdue reassessment of a misunderstood genius and revolutionary artist.
