“A hilarious, finely tuned absurdist” (Theatre Jones), Alex Tatarsky makes performances in the uncomfortable in-between zone of comedy, poetry, dance-theater, performance art, and deluded rant--sometimes with songs. Tatarsky experienced fleeting fame as Andy Kaufman’s daughter and used to perform as a mound of dirt. Venues include MoMA PS1, Judson Church, The Kitchen, La Mama, and many bars and basements. Their writings on counterfeit poetics and grotesque politics have appeared in publications including The New Inquiry, Hypocrite Reader, ArtReview Asia, Folder, Viscose, and Vulture. They teach workshops on masks, rot, and mistranslation. Together with Ming Lin, form one half of Shanzhai Lyric, and recently founded the fictional entity Canal Street Research Association. Research interests include bootlegs, hellscapes, and compost. @tartar.biz
Sean F. Munro is an Associate Professor of English at Delgado Community College. He has dusty poems in Indiana Review, Split Lip Magazine, & Under a Warm Green Linden, but he has fresh poems to pop at this reading. He hosts a weekly poetry radio show, Lunch Poems, on Wednesdays at 12:30pm on 99.1 FM, helps organize the New Orleans Poetry Festival, co-curates The Splice Poetry Series, and manages LitWire, the literary event calendar for New Orleans.
