World Fusion Night

Knitting Factory, New York

November 20th at 7-8pm
World Fusion Night Featuring Josey Foo, Adeena Karasick, Ed Lin, Barbara Decesare & Corey Frost

Josey Foo's first book of prose and poems, "Endou" was published in 1996, and portions of it were included by Jamaica Kincaid in "Best American Essays 1995". She attended the Iowa Writers Workshop and has an MFA from Brown University. Foo won the Eve of St. Agnes Award in Poetry in 1995 and is a recipient of 2001 NEA and Pennsylvania Council for the Arts Literature Fellowships. Formerly an undocumented alien working odds and ends in New York City, she is now an advocate for the Navajo Nation in Shiprock, New Mexico.

Adeena Karasick is a Canadian cultural theorist, performance and videopoem artist, and the award-winning author of five books of poetry and poetic theory: The Arugula Fugues (Zasterle Press, Spain), Dyssemia Sleaze (2000), Genrecide (1996), Mêmewars (1994), and The Empress Has No Closure (1992). Dedicated to the interplay of conflictual dialects, aesthetics, and textures that impact on the construction of feminist and cultural identity, her articles, reviews and dialogues on contemporary poetry, poetics and cultural/semiotic theory have been published worldwide. She is Professor of Poetry and Critical Theory at St. John's University in New York.

Ed Lin's first novel "Waylaid" (Kaya Press) is loosely based on his childhood of renting out rooms to johns and hookers at his parents' sleazy hotel.

Barbara Decesare is the Poet Laureate of 98 Rock WIYY Baltimore. Her work has appeared in over forty American journals, including Alaska Quarterly Review and Birmingham Poetry Review.

Corey Frost is the author or editor of numerous chapbooks and a text-based performance artist who was named Best Spoken Word Artist (2001) by the Montreal Mirror. His first book of short stories, My Own Devices, has just been published by conundrum press (Montreal), and a book of prose poetry is forthcoming from Cyclops Press (Winnipeg) as well as a CD, Bits World: Exciting Version, from Wired on Words (Montreal). He is currently pursuing a PhD at the City University of New York and lives in Brooklyn.
