Performance after the telethon
Cyrée Jarelle Johnson
What to do about a telethon other than fuck it up? Poet, tarotist, artist, and librarian Cyrée Jarelle Johnson returns to IWBWYE to read the 1980s and ’90s for what those decades were: practice for now.

Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
After Leonardo

Energy Births Form
Alan Silva Ben Hall David Keenan Don Dietrich Incapacitants Kazuo Imai Michiyo Yagi Sabu Toyozumi
