Costume: Sad Cinderella















Setlist:

6 poems from FASHIONWHORE 
7 poems/rooms from Kept Women
7 poems from Angie vs. Jen
Several sections from "Marilyn: Leftovers" (the only piece I read from The Ravenous Audience). This piece was dedicated to my life long friend, my Marilyn, Kiara Kremensky. The sections I read were "The Clothes," "The Prescriptions," and "The Legal Documents."

A silver candle alights. Tears of blood and salt, flares and flickers of words, aflame. Beauty cries in the quiet night.

Amazing costume! I used to love that film when I was young and even though I might agree with some of the critcisms of it that are out there I still think this film and Disney in general are very interesting.

Kate Durbin said...

Thanks, all! This is by far the best dress on the planet, one I've dreamed and drooled over since I was a wee girl watching Cinderella on the little tv screen. So dreamy. So sad.

Andrea, I totally agree re. Disney--the films and Disneyland are both really important to some of the work I'm doing now, and both really shaped me in formative ways as a child. Ways that have lingered into adulthood and formed my work.

Hi again Kate, are you able to post a "set-list" -- I seem to remember you were moving away, or maybe had decided not to read at all any more, from The Ravenous Audience, though maybe I misremember or am just plain wrong about that. Anyway, curious what you read in S. Diego, if you care to and have the time to share.

Steven--

Most certainly happy to share! Posted it just now on the entry. I can't go into specific details regarding the titles of the pieces (those that have titles) until they are in their final book form--I am a little secretive about that. But I hope this gives you enough of a taste!

Also, in happy news, Insert Press just found a new printer so sometime after January Kept Women should make its way into the world.

Cool to see the setlist, Kate. And Angie vs Jen _ I'm very intrigued : )

Kate Durbin said...

I think you will love Angie vs. Jen, Andrea!

Thanks Kate. And great to hear what's a-happenin' with Insert Press and that your publication there will be out soon enough.
