Elana Dykewomon on Woman-Stirred Radio

Please join us this Thursday, May 25th, at 4:30 pm (EST), on Woman-Stirred Radio, for an interview with Elana Dykewomon, author, poet, activist, and teacher, whose lesbian classic, Riverfinger Women (1974), captured the attention of the lesbian community, heralded her prolific body of work, and identified her as a writer of intelligence and insight.

Elana has also written Moon Creek Road (2003), Beyond the Pale (1997), Nothing Will Be as Sweet as the Taste: Selected poems 1974-1994 (1995), Fragments from Lesbos (1981), and They Will Know Me by My Teeth: Stories and poems of lesbian struggle, celebration, and survival (1976).

Dykewomon was editor of Sinister Wisdom from 1987 to 1995, and teaches, from time to time, at San Francisco State University.

Elana Nachman was born in NYC, in 1949; she changed her name to Dykewomon to identify herself as an indisputably committed cultural worker, and member of the lesbian community.

Elana Dykewomon has much to say about the complexities of lesbian life and community, and its location within the ongoing struggles for personal and political freedom in a global culture of violence and exploitation.

So join us, this Thursday, May 25th 4:30 (EST) for an interview with Elana Dykewomon. And please feel free to call in. Join the discussion and share your thoughts. 802.454.7762.
