Womb-Words, Thirsting September 28, 2007

by Lenelle Moise (Solo Performance Artist)
September 28, 2007 at 7:30 pm

Tickets: $10 General Admission

Mixing a brew full of womanist Vodou jazz, queer theory hip-hop and movement, Womb-Words, Thirsting is an interactive evening of patchwork poetic storytelling delivered—slam style—from the gut.
Lenelle Moise is a self-identified “culturally hyphenated pomosexual poet” who creates personal political texts about the spirits of sexuality, masculinities, being bicultural (Haitian-American), and the intersection of race, class, gender and resistance. She recites from scrolls, from memory and through movement. In addition to featured performances in a number of cafes, bookstores, and theatres, Moise regularly performs at universities across the United States. She induced standing ovations at both the 2000 and 2001 National Poetry Slams and is New World Theater’s 2003 Poetry Slam champion. Named a 2005–06 recipient of the Astraea Loving Lesbians Award for Poetry, she is currently touring her acclaimed autobiofictional solo performance Womb-Words, Thirsting. Her debut CD, Madivinez, is forthcoming.
