This month, we are joined by HLH's own Karin Spitfire, who will offer up a sure-to-be-moving poetry reading. Spitfire is a poet and activist conceptual artist who uses whatever medium necessary to get across the message, song, dance, poetry, rant, diatribe, prints, artist books, and letterpress. Spitfire is the author of two poetry collections, Standing with Trees (2006), and The Body in Late Stage Capitalism (2021).
From touring a performance piece called “Incest: It’s All Relative” nationally in the 80’s; to a community engagement event “The Sardine Extravaganza: For the Love of Herring” in 2010; to her current work in progress of moving sculptural books “Seven Sacred Sites/Sights,” Spitfire’s work calls us out and in. Spitfire also makes pysanky, Ukrainian egg dying, as a spiritual practice evoking on her matrilineal roots.
