Hi, My Name is Kathy Acker: Part 1
(Dodie Bellamy in Kathy Acker’s Clothing.) But I’m special. There’s something special about me as far as sex goes. There’s always been. You have to treat me that way or else get out.
What follows may not be safe for work! All excerpts are from Kathy Goes to Haiti:
Your past comes back and hooks you. Your insane search for affection because your mother didn’t want you, disliked you, and she wouldn’t tell you who your father was. You kept looking for someone to turn to. You kept looking for a home. Your need gathers. Passion collects. You’re in it now, baby…passions, just as they are…
You’ve got to get love. You’ve lost your sense of propriety. Your social so-called graces. You’re running around a cunt without a head. You could fuck anybody anytime any place you don’t give a damn who the person is except you really don’t want to get murdered any number of people except when the sex situations happen you have this idea lingering from the past maybe you shouldn’t fuck so much and so openly other people are looking down on you other people are thinking you’re shit.

John!
Yeah, Bellamy. And Acker. I’m just rolling around in their goodness and just reread Kathy Goes to Haiti while in the DR, surrounded by Haitians and Dominicans. More Acker to come, but I should write about Barf Manifesto soon too…

I am, like, totally in love with Kathy Acker. She has totally super thick juicy lips that are all perfect for kissing and stuff. And Dodie Bellamy read at John’s apartment last fall. It was great!. She read all this pornography stuff and everyone went wild! I like BARF! Thanks pr, great post!
Hey, pr? What other books by Kathy Acker have you read?

steven,
dodie and micah’s reading was the won that killed both both…cops were called, neighbors complained…bones were broken (no joke, my roommate broke foot bones in the Ian Curtis dance off)…but it was a great reading…and poets got fondled…

That’s why you need to keep doing Both Both. Because it’s not a party–and it’s not poetry–unless the cops show up! Are you going to 99 Sanchez tonight?

what’s going on at sanchez tonight? now that’s a reading that needs to keep going…david highsmith and michael do a ridiculously good job of stocking ridiculously good books…and it smells so good in there…and you can buy rare books at cover price for some reason…and they kind of feature the chapbook as their primary stock…
here’s what brandon brown said a while ago
“Books and Bookshelves is crazy. You go through a room full of beautiful wooden furniture: stools, chairs, and, yeah, bookshelves, and in the back room you find yourself in a fucking treasure chest. I guess I mean a treasure chest for the very weird subset of people in the world, 90% of this blog’s readers, who would get excited about, you know, being able to buy every Tuumba book for $5. I settled for one, Alan Bernheimer’s State Lounge (1981, I think). Alli got a Larry Eigner book for the same number.”
but no, no sanchez tonight…me and my brother are going to dolores to sap some beers then maybe head back to alamo square to greet the fog meet up with more friends and sap even more beers…it’s ridiculously warm out right now…like what, 66 degrees…in SF? in march? fuck…gorgeous….
happy friday htlm’ers,
