Acker in Bloomington, MN

Martin’s lyric essay, written through Kathy Acker’s evocative prose, public statements, and private archives, follows Acker through New York’s downtown St. Mark’s Poetry Project scene, Black Mountain College, and the Beats, as Acker embarks on her own deconstructions of autobiographical and historical subjects, art procedurals, proto-conceptual writing, legacies, and spirits.
