Today on Women's Magazine  magazine we will preview  two exciting new lesbian documentaries playing at SF' Frameline film festival the  preeminent LGBTQAI film festival,  which is the largest in the world and runs from June 14th to July 2nd.  First we talk  to Madeleine Lim about her new documentary Jewelle: A Just Vision about the   powerful and extraordinarily talented visionary  writer, activist, and community-builder Jewelle Gomez who will also be joining us.  Not limited to her vanguard work The Gilda Stories, Jewelle's been at the foreground of myriad culture and movement spaces since the 1960s. Through humorous and thoughtful interviews with Jewelle and a group of friends and collaborators (including Dorothy Allison, Cheryl Clarke, and Ajuan Mance), this doc by Madeleine Lim radiates with the warmth and sharp intelligence of a prolific Black and Native femme lesbian feminist who's an enduring force across LGBTQ+ organizations and communities, as it explores the lineage that has shaped and been shaped by Jewelle. And then we talk to Lisa Marie Evans,  co-director of the new documentary “In Her Words: 20th Century Lesbian Fiction.” Narrated by LGBTQ+ historian Lillian Faderman and illuminated through interviews with trailblazers like Jewelle Gomez (The Gilda Stories), Dorothy Allison (Bastard Out of Carolina), and Sarah Waters (Fingersmith), In Her Words: 20th Century Lesbian Fiction charts a literary journey from post-war lesbian pulp to modern bestsellers.  Charting the changing socio-political landscapes that encouraged an evolution of the genre In Her Words: 20th Century Lesbian Fiction pays loving tribute to this evolution of lesbian and queer fiction, told through a lens of broader American history.  And lastly we will talk to Allegra Madsen the director of programming at Frameline about the history of the film festival and other lesbian highlights at the film festival. The post Women's Magazine June 12 2023 appeared first on KPFA.

Here is a talk from Dorothy Allison from the 2012 Santa Barbara Writers Conference. Allison's writing focuses on class struggle, sexual abuse, child abuse, feminism and lesbianism. She has won a number of awards for her writing, including several Lambda Literary Awards. Her first novel Bastard Out of Carolina was published in 1992 to great acclaim, becoming a best-seller. It was later adapted as a film of the same name, directed by Anjelica Huston for TNT. The book and film both generated controversy because of the graphic content, and the TV film was aired on Showtime rather than TNT. The Canadian Maritime Film Classification Board initially banned distribution of the film in Canada, but it was reversed on appeal. In November 1997, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court affirmed a State Board of Education decision to ban the book in public high schools because of its graphic content.

Paper Cuts LIVE! Episode 54 HERE IN THE DARK from Shotgun Honey Books is the debut short story collection from award winning author Meagan Lucas! Join us for the exclusive cover reveal and author chat. We will also be joined by special guest, author Laurel Hightower. "HERE IN THE DARK, the first collection from award-winning author Meagan Lucas, is a gritty genre blending wallop of short stories, set mostly in Southern Appalachia, that explore the female experience of lawlessness. In the tradition of Dorothy Allison and Bonnie Jo Campbell, Lucas tackles, with unsettling honesty: poverty, addiction, motherhood, and social justice in an increasingly troubled cultural climate. These are character-driven stories about crime, but less a who-done-it mystery and more a meditation on how the vulnerable navigate a world devoid of true justice. Unflinching in its gaze, HERE IN THE DARK is an ambitious collection from a bold and empathetic storyteller. Perceptive, intimate, and brave, these sixteen stories encompass shame and forgiveness, loss and redemption, oppression and revolution, and signal a new way of thinking about power and trauma. In "Voluntary Action," a sheriff's deputy witnesses the overdose of a high school friend in her custody. In "Buttons," a little girl, bullied by the neighbor boy, gets her revenge with a needle and thread. In "Sitting Ducks," a hurricane bears down on mothers, daughters, and sisters in an un-evacuated women's prison. In "Asylum" an immigrant woman, suffering a terrible loss, sees ghosts in the hotel and houses that she cleans. In "Hell, or High Water" a young woman with Stockholm syndrome is abandoned by her kidnapper deep in the woods of Western North Carolina. And in "Here in the Dark," a newly clean addict is given the opportunity to start over with her son if only she'll snitch on her former lover and pimp, but discovers, of course, it's not that simple. Blending Lucas' musical prose with high-tension stakes, and resonant characters, HERE IN THE DARK is a collection not to be missed." Visit us at: https://www.papercutslive.com

Rencontre avec Noémie Grunenwald à l'occasion de la parution de ses traductions des nouvelles de Dorothy Allison, Trash, vilaines histoires et filles coriaces, éditées dans la collection Sorcières des éditions Cambourakis. Une conversation passionnante sur la traduction de textes féministes et les stratagèmes mis en place pour développer une traduction en féministes !Ce dernier recueil inédit en français de Dorothy Allison nous permet de replonger avec délectation dans son style incandescent et empli de douceur, et dans cette manière si singulière et touchante de nommer les choses et de raconter des histoires « trash ». Ces récits, écrits pour la plupart dans les années 1980, ont été rassemblés par l'autrice elle-même. On y trouve en germe toutes les thématiques que la romancière lesbienne et issue du prolétariat white trash du Sud des États-Unis a traitées dans son œuvre : la misère sociale, les relations avec les femmes de sa famille, la violence de son beau-père, la sexualité, le rapport à la nourriture, la maladie de sa mère... Des histoires tour à tour jubilatoires et bouleversantes qui nous touchent en plein cœur.Crédit photo : Yannick Auguin Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Psychics! Visions! Questionable methods of investigation! Join Benton and Anna as they explore the more esoteric ways of solving a case. First, Anna gives a rundown on the ways a police department may enlist the help of a psychic, and how good the results typically are, and Benton relays the murder of Andre Daigle, solved with the help of a psychic. Then, Anna goes over the murders of John DeMars and Susan Jacobson, solved with the help of the psychic, Dorothy Allison. Finally, a classic episode of Forensic Files is in order, profiling the murder of Cindy Allinger.Our TV doc this week is Season 13: Episode 19 of Forensic Files, "Seedy Intentions".

Last week, we investigated whether psychic abilities were legit and now we run through the real people who solve real crimes using...real powers? Dorothy Allison, Nancy Weber, and other purported psychics have famously helped crack high profile cases with no one able to explain how. Were they just really good guessers? Was the show Psych more of a documentary program? Or were these women really tapping into a deeper level of human potential? There's actually a good chance Baba Vanga predicted we'd do this episode.

Recensione di due libri appartenenti alla corrente della Letteratura Southern.La letteratura Southern si prefigge di narrare la propria identità rurale, nonché quella afroamericana, attraverso storie diverse e complesse in grado di riflettere la storia culturale degli Stati Uniti. Attraverso queste narrazioni ricongiungiamo l'identità etnica e socioeconomica del Sud degli USA a una serie di tematiche, stili e registri che mostrano il lato più rurale, afoso e opprimente delle piantagioni, della manodopera schiavistica, delle condizioni degli afroamericani e del movimento per i diritti civili. A prescindere dagli argomenti trattati, ci sono però anche tante sfumature diverse che accomunano i libri della letteratura Southern, come l'essere caratterizzati più in generale da un ritmo lento, che insegue la condizione umana riflettendone la rassegnazione e descrivendola a tratti con un umorismo grottesco.I libri recensiti sono i seguenti:- “La bastarda della Carolina”, di Dorothy Allison, Minimum Fax, 326 pagine;- “Un piede in paradiso” di Ron Rash, La Nuova Frontiera, 256 pagine.Contattami anche tu per commenti, idee e proposte: woozingstar@gmail.comProfilo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zonalettura/Profilo Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/18769234-ludovicaFoto di Gabriele TaorminaMusica: Acoustic Blues e Saloon Rag, di Jason Shaw, da https://audionautix.comRendezvous, di Shane Ivers, da https://www.silvermansound.com

None of us saw this coming, but this week we decided to cover crimes that were solved through the help of psychics. Dana covers the murder of Susan Jacobson. The case had gone cold and psychic Dorothy Allison got a vision that changed everything.  Nydia tells us of the murder of Melanie Uribe and how an unassuming aerospace worker by the name of Etta Smith suddenly gets a vision that not only solves the crime but also puts her on the top the list of suspects.  Cindy shares some psychic encounters that will have you believing.   For dinner this week, Cindy cooked up a delicious baked ziti. For dessert, she made some amazing lemon cheesecake bars from a recipe found on shugarysweets.com.  The wine this week was a custom made Vena Cabernet Sauvignon made by Cindy's brother in law. If you've never made wine, it's a lot of fun and more affordable than you think. The wine was delicious.  You can find the links to the stories and food photos on: www.winedineandstorytime.com Check us out on Social too!!   patreon.com/wdst buymeacoffee.com/WDST facebook.com/winedineandstorytime instagram.com/winedinestorytime twitter.com/WDStoryTime or call us some time  6093003094 This week we also got to work with some other podcasts we think you should check out!

Margherita Giacobino"Il tuo sguardo su di me"Mondadori Editorehttps://www.librimondadori.it/Quella con la madre è la prima delle nostre relazioni, inizia ancora prima di venire al mondo. Raccontarla può essere la sfida di una vita, perché in quella relazione spesso sono inscritte molte delle verità che ci riguardano.In questo romanzo Margherita Giacobino mette al centro un rapporto tra due donne – una più grande, l'altra più piccola – che nel corso delle loro esistenze si sono ascoltate, ignorate, osservate, amate profondamente: incidentalmente sono anche madre e figlia, ancor più incidentalmente sono l'autrice e sua madre.Da bambina Margherita la contempla rapita come fosse il sole, l'astro luminoso attorno al quale tutto gira e prende vita: coraggiosa, energica, determinata. Da adolescente non cerca e non riceve confidenze ma la comunicazione passa nei gesti e nelle parole di tutti i giorni e la fiducia è totale. Adulta, tra preoccupazione e divertimento, Margherita vede la madre iniziare una nuova vita, intrecciare un amore misterioso… Fin quando i ruoli prendono a invertirsi: non più, o non solo, la madre che si prende cura di noi, ma noi a prenderci cura della madre.Con la sua scrittura vigorosa, calibratissima, nitida, sempre anticonformista; distillando la nostalgia per la madre amatissima, il desiderio di raccontarla che da sempre l'accompagna, una visione intelligente e spassionata del rapporto madre-figlia e del femminile molteplice, Margherita Giacobino crea un romanzo sorprendente e vibrante, un omaggio alle madri e alle eredità lasciate alle figlie, non sempre fardelli da cui emanciparsi, in alcuni casi scie luminose e salvifiche: “La malizia di un certo sorriso brilla nei tuoi sogni, e ti fa da lumino di notte quando leggi. Leggere era il tuo vizio, come le sigarette nazionali super senza filtro. Se è vero che noi portiamo sulle spalle i sogni dei nostri genitori, i tuoi sogni per me non sono stati un fardello, ma il respiro di orizzonti più aperti”.Margherita Giacobino vive a Torino, è scrittrice, saggista e traduttrice. Il suo primo libro, Un'americana a Parigi (Baldini&Castoldi), è uscito nel 1993 con l'eteronimo di Elinor Rigby. Casalinghe all'inferno è del 1996, per lo stesso editore. Per Eliot, nel 2010, è uscito L'uovo fuori dal cavagno. Con Mondadori ha pubblicato: Ritratto di famiglia con bambina grassa (2015, tradotto in Francia, in Germania e in Inghilterra), Il prezzo del sogno (2017, uscito in Inghilterra) e L'età ridicola (2018). Ha tradotto, tra gli altri, Emily Brontë, Gustave Flaubert, Margaret Atwood, Dorothy Allison, Audre Lorde. Collabora alla rivista satirica online "Erbacce".IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Marcia Burnier est autrice. Son premier roman, Les Orageuses, raconte l’histoire de deux femmes, toutes deux victimes de viol. Entourées par cinq autres amies, elles prennent un jour la décision de reprendre un pouvoir que l’on a essayé de leur ôter par la violence, en se faisant justice elles-mêmes. Ce livre, Marcia Burnier l’a écrit en premier “pour ses copines”. L’écrivaine a voulu redonner de la valeur à la parole des femmes autour d’elle, sa “famille choisie” comme elle l’appelle. Elle en est persuadée: “d’autres types de liens familiaux doivent pouvoir exister” au-delà des parents et du couple. D’où l’importance de valoriser la sororité. La solidarité entre femmes est un thème que Marcia Burnier voudrait voir se développer dans la littérature. “Il faut qu’on arrive à accepter que des romans peuvent être très bons avec pratiquement que des personnages féminins”. D’ailleurs, le livre qu’elle a choisi de nous présenter dans cet épisode est une histoire “d’entraide entre femmes”. Il s’agit du recueil d’essais autobiographiques Peau, à propos de sexe, de classe et de littérature de Dorothy Allison. Dans cet ouvrage, l’autrice américaine revient sur sa propre histoire. Elle analyse son rapport à la sexualité, à l’inceste qu’elle a subi dans son enfance. Mais à travers toute cette violence, elle valorise aussi le collectif, “les groupes de meufs”, et met en avant l’importance du soutien qu’elle a pu recevoir de la part d’autres femmes. L’histoire de Dorothy Allison résonne en Marcia Burnier. Si la première fois qu’elle la lit, c’est principalement parce qu’elle veut en savoir plus sur son identité de femme lesbienne, elle y attache rapidement une nouvelle signification. “Peau c’est un livre qui m’a fait me sentir autrice”. Lorsqu’elle écrit son premier roman, il lui apprend à donner de la valeur à ce qu’elle veut raconter. Et surtout, à se laisser le temps pour l’écrire. “Se dire autrice c’est aussi accepter de donner du temps à la littérature”. À travers Peau, Marcia Burnier se laisser aller à la rêverie et espère qu’un jour, elle pourra devenir écrivaine à temps plein. Le Book Club est un podcast présenté par Agathe le Taillandier.

It’s the birthday of Dorothy Allison (1949), the novelist and memoirist who said, “The thing I’m telling you is true, but it did not always happen to me.”

Dorothy Allison treated the participants of the 2011 Summer Workshop to a spirited discussion of how characters should speak on the page. Not only “he said, she said, none of them said a thing,” but a whole range of language issues—what is said and not said, dialect and rhythm, pacing, patterns in speech, and most […] The post Tin House Live : Craft Talk : On Dialogue with Dorothy Allison appeared first on Tin House.

This is a reading of the introduction to Dorothy Allison’s celebrated story collection “Trash” that draws on her own intergenerational experiences of growing up in a poor, white Southern family in the US.

Omgosh YESSSS!!!! Nurtured. is BACK!!It took me a bit longer to get back here than anticipated and honestly, I feel a bit like one of those beautifully scraggly bears after they come out of hibernation. I feel awkward at the mic, am experiencing being really outside of myself during interviews, and am having just all-around thoughts of “wtf am I even doing”???!!! Thankfully we get to kick off season two with this sweet little episode that I recorded back in November with a soul who means a lot to me so it feels like the kindest way to get back into the swing of things.I feel truly honoured to share with all of you, the conversation I had with the incredible Max Backer on all things enneagram. Perhaps this work is second nature to you, or perhaps you’ve stopped reading this and are googling what on earth enneagram is…either way…this episode is a must for anyone wanting to dive a little deeper into the personality and to add a new tool to their ever expanding tool kit.Max Backer is a former professor and performance poet from Ithaca NY and above all, a type 4 to the bitter end. They were a 2012 Lambda Fellow in Poetry under Jewelle Gomez and Dorothy Allison and most recently delivered a Ted Talk entitled: no one has imagined us: the gender non-binary experience. As the Experience Manager for Tempest, an online recovery platform, they use non-traditional sobriety frameworks such as the enneagram and birth charts to help folks find their way home.So welcome back! Sooooo excited we’re starting another season and most of all, I’m thankful that you’re back here with me

Dorothy Allison is a self-described "feminist, working class storyteller, Southern expatriate, and sometime poet." The author of "Bastard Out of Carolina," she gave the keynote at the 2019 Appalachian Writers' Workshop at the Hindman Settlement School in Knott County, KY. Our own Rachel Garringer was there to capture her thoughts on writing, identity, class, memory and using language as a weapon. We’ll hear Kentucky writer Silas House introduce her. Listen in for an hour of humor, brilliance, and fire from an iconic Southern writer.

Esistono tanti modi attraverso i quali i pettegolezzi di una generazione possono trasformarsi in leggende per chi li eredita.

This week we are covering Season 1 Episode 15 of Unsolved Mysteries the original Robert Stack episodes, the Cases are Wanted: Micki Jo West/ Update: Dave Davis/ Lost Loves: Orphan Train/ The Unexplained: Dorothy Allison! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thestackpack/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thestackpack/support

Dorothy Allison grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, the first child of a fifteen-year-old unwed mother who worked as a waitress. Now living in Northern California with her partner Alix and her teenage son, Wolf Michael, she describes herself as a feminist, a working class story teller, a Southern expatriate, a sometime poet and a happily born-again Californian. The first member of her family to graduate from high school, Allison attended Florida Presbyterian college on a National Merit Scholarship and studied anthropology at the New School for Social Research. An award winning editor for Quest, Conditions, and Outlook—early feminist and Lesbian & Gay journals, Allison's chapbook of poetry, The Women Who Hate Me, was published with Long Haul Press in 1983. Her short story collection, Trash (1988) was published by Firebrand Books. Trash won two Lambda Literary Awards and the American Library Association Prize for Lesbian and Gay Writing. Allison says that the early Feminist movement changed her life. "It was like opening your eyes under water. It hurt, but suddenly everything that had been dark and mysterious became visible and open to change." However, she admits, she would never have begun to publish her stories if she hadn't gotten over her prejudices, and started talking to her mother and sisters again. Allison received mainstream recognition with her novel Bastard Out of Carolina, (1992) a finalist for the 1992 National Book Award. The novel won the Ferro Grumley prize, an ALA Award for Lesbian and Gay Writing, became a best seller, and an award-winning movie. It has been translated into more than a dozen languages. Cavedweller (1998) became a national bestseller, NY Times Notable book of the year, finalist for the Lillian Smith prize, and an ALA prize winner. Adapted for the stage by Kate Moira Ryan, the play was directed by Michael Greif, and featured music by Hedwig composer, Stephen Trask. In 2003, Lisa Cholendenko directed a movie version featuring Krya Sedwick. I spoke with Dorothy recently as part of my college's "Mouths of Others" creative arts speakers series. She is full of fire and story and looks right through you in that simple, razor sharp way that only Southerns can. I think you will dig this conversation. I know her writing will undo you. Transformation in a lightning bolt, presented for your enjoyment.

Love books, music, and the South? Then we've got the episode for you. Annie and Chris met with the guys of Audible Discernment, a music podcast out of nearby Albany, Ga., and they chat all things literary and musical (including a nostalgia for country music and why Pride and Prejudice would be better set in the South).  Books mentioned:  + Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison  + A Boy from Georgia by Hamilton Jordan + The Dark Tower series by Stephen King + Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen + The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers + Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace + The Whale by Mark Beauregard + The Last Days of Video by Jeremy Hawkins

In an exploration of how place, setting, and location inform our writing, we travel around the United States, from the Deep South with National Book Award finalist Dorothy Allison and award winning novelist Josh Weil and then up to New York City with New York Times Bestselling writer Tom Barbash before heading west to California with all three. There’s also a surprise reading from Pam Houston’s forthcoming memoir, working title The Ranch: A Love Story.

This episode is an excerpt of a live, free-flowing panel discussion at the recent Writing by Writers Conference in Tomales Bay, California between poet, novelist, and National Book Award finalist Dorothy Allison, memoirist, journalist, fiction writer, and teacher Steve Almond, and award winning writer, teacher, and Writing by Writers co-founder Pam Houston.

What makes a writer feminist, and what makes feminists writers? Gayle Greene, author of The Poetics of Change: The Fiction of Doris Lessing discusses one of the iconic women writers of the twentieth century, who sometimes rejected the label of feminist, but inspired a generation of feminist readers and writers. And authors Dorothy Allison and Gail Tsukiyama discuss their writing process and the importance of a nurturing community of women writers, as well as the “radical hospitality” provided by Hedgebrook , a unique writer's retreat for women. The post Women's Magazine – December 2, 2013 appeared first on KPFA.
