talking back to the mind. loving dis-order.

Really stoked about this night. We must talk and be loud about mental illness. Everything. Everyone. No stigma no shame. #KristinaBicher #poetryreading #JeanannVerlee #ShiraErlichman #AjaiRaj #SierraOrtega #mentalillness #BoweryPoetry

"Has No [Skin]" still en route but new poems to be published

Happy to say that while my manuscript is currently in irons, I've seen a bit of goodness. Some poems were accepted by Narrative, Barrow Street and Painted Bride Quarterly. Plus one from Bellingham Review is somewhere on its way into the world in 2016. Writing. Writing. Writing. #KristinaBicher #HasNoSkin #BarrowStreet #Narrative #BellinghamReview #PaintedBrideQuarterly #writing

Bread Loaf Translators' Conference

What a week-- all-in! Close-reading workshops led by David Hinton, craft talks and jaw-dropping pin-quiet faculty/guest/participant readings... wow! Plus alternately freezing (hail) and sunning on the rocks by the gorge. Met some bad-ass writers and thinkers. Will take some time to absorb it all... My group below, translators of Spanish, Russian, Greek, Swedish and ancient Chinese. #KristinaBicher #BreadLoaf #poetrytranslation #DavidHinton

Bob Holman Fights to Save Dying Languages

Columbia Journal recently carried a profile I wrote of Bob Holman: poet, activist, teacher, performer. His "Language Matters" film with David Grubin showcases the plight of endangered languages across the globe. Bob is showcasing speakers of such languages at Bowery Poetry and recently returned from trips to Hawaii and Alaska to promote immersion learning.

make a poem with scissors and glue

I love Franklin Street Works in Stamford and it's not just the coffee and macarons, which will entrance you. The exhibits are diverse and multi-faceted and make you think and mostly make you feel. I'm leading a poetry workshop that talks about the role of chance in art-making. We'll do cut-ups, erasures and have lots of random fun. Wednesday, Oct. 14. #FranklinStreetWorks #KristinaBicher

Meet the Maestro of Page Meets Stage: Taylor Mali

Taylor Mali (This piece first appeared in the Lumina Journal blog of Sarah Lawrence College on 4/7/15) Another obscure poetry venue, another huge payoff! Running late (again) last December to Page Meets Stage, held this once at Rivington F+B on the lower east side, there was no visible address nor obvious entrance, just a few smokers on the sidewalk who seemed to be nodding me in toward a dark and very vacant bar. But, aha: on the far side, light shone from the cracks betwe

When My Brother Was an Aztec

(This piece first appeared in the Lumina Journal blog of Sarah Lawrence College on 2/20/15) When My Brother Was an Aztec by Natalie Diaz These poems will give you vertigo: your ears will throb, your head will gyrate with images of unruly beasts and mesmerizing ancient gods, your mouth will fill with a rich lexicon that is wildly imaginative. These poems are at once raw and sophisticated. Savagery has never been so beautiful. Redemption never seemed so close and then so far. I

Get Thee to KGB

(This piece first appeared in the Lumina Journal blog of Sarah Lawrence College on 11/6/14; link below) Where else can you drink a mean G&T under the hammer-and-sickled Red Banner of the (former) Soviet Union and listen to the best poets around (as well as fiction) in an intimate setting for free (or nearly free) and feel like you’re doing something illegal… or at least illicit? Aforementioned G&T First, you have to find it: a skinny redbrick walk-up at 4th and 2nd Avenue, ma
