Happy New Year! While some news
organizations and media mavens may be telling you that 2010 is just
going to be a different version of the same crap, we beg to differ -
this year is going to be full of amazing brilliance, savvy commentary,
and ridiculously fun literary shenanigans, and Queer Open Mic is your
gateway to a better year! We’ll make you laugh, cry, and think; we’ll
give you somewhere to go where everybody knows your name (and will help
you impress your date, too); we’ll even let you get up on stage and wow
us all with your wit and verve. So plan on checking out the first Queer
Open Mic of 2010!
About Dusty Rose:
Dusty Rose is an ex-school teacher turned pixie. To salvage what
remained after the soul-eating public school system, she abandoned
career, home, and family to pursue poetics full time. With a BA in
Literature from UC Berkeley, five years of teaching experience and a
pile of tattered journals, Dusty Rose dove into the slam world full
time last year. Since then she has
competed regularly at bay area slams, qualified for team semi-finals in
Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco and just completed a 9 month tour
of the US and Canada with highlights in Vancouver, Chicago’s Green
Mill, University of Maryland, Orlando’s Broken Speech, and Humboldt
State University. Dusty Rose released two albums in 2008 with fellow
poet and vagabond, Baraka Noel, as mumbles and the Dust. Her work drips
with candied images for your mind; close your eyes… she will make love
to you and that is a metaphor.
