PAPERCUTS PRESENTS: Michelle Tea and SLUTS Anthology Contributors

Prolific multi-disciplinary artist Michelle Tea returns to Papercuts, this time with an anthology of&nbsp;personal essays, spilled secrets, fiction, memoir, and experimental works, each exploring&nbsp;what it means to be sexually promiscuous in contemporary American culture.&nbsp;From hideous and terrifying first encounters to postapocalyptic polyamory, from unionizing sex workers to backstage tableaux of sex and drugs and rock and roll,&nbsp;SLUTS’s stories probe the liberating highs and abject lows of physical abandon. Tea will be joined by some of the writers featured in this anthology: Lydi Conklin (<a href="https://papercutsjp.com/?q=h.tviewer&amp;using_sb=status&amp;qsb=keyword&amp;qse=-2678iiMGVeryzYARMpFcQ" target="_blank">Rainbow Rainbow</a>),&nbsp;Carley Moore (<a href="https://papercutsjp.com/?q=h.tviewer&amp;using_sb=status&amp;qsb=keyword&amp;qse=SDumxb94b1tiO1-P7PCQKA" target="_blank">Panpocalypse</a>), Cristy Road Carrera (<a href="https://papercutsjp.com/?q=h.tviewer&amp;using_sb=status&amp;qsb=keyword&amp;qse=xeiGnN8EGZDcuWq3WETyaw" target="_blank">Spit and Passion</a>), and Tom Cole. &nbsp; Michelle Tea is the author of over a dozen books of memoir, fiction, poetry and children's lit — including the essay collection&nbsp;<a href="https://papercutsjp.com/?q=h.tviewer&amp;using_sb=status&amp;qsb=keyword&amp;qse=uI9pNIAHMPENhsx3xN_uCw" target="_blank">Against Memoir</a>&nbsp;which&nbsp;was awarded the PEN/America Diamonstein-Speilvogel Award for the Art of the Essay;&nbsp;and the memoir&nbsp;<a href="https://papercutsjp.com/?q=h.tviewer&amp;using_sb=status&amp;qsb=keyword&amp;qse=lUy-ceNRsMV19rg1Y7MLAw" target="_blank">Valencia</a>,which&nbsp;won the Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Fiction&nbsp;despite it being entirely true, and was adapted&nbsp;into a feature-length art film using nearly 20 different directors and different Michelles. She is also the recipient of the legendary Rona Jaffe Award, and a 2021 Guggenheim Fellow. &nbsp; In addition to her writing, Michelle has instigated many cultural interventions aimed at increasing access and visibility for queer writers and artists. She is the founder of the Bay Area literary non-profit&nbsp;RADAR Productions for which she worked as Executive Director for over a decade. Michelle's last move as ED was to conceptualize Drag Queen Story Hour, the kid's lit event that has since become a global sensation. She is the co-founder of the international performance tour Sister Spit, and founding editor-at-large for the online parenting zine Mutha. Michelle produces and hosts the mystical Spotify podcast&nbsp;Your Magic, and fronts a weekly live tarot show on Spotify Live. Her 30-plus years as a tarot reader is encapsulated in her popular how-to book,&nbsp;<a href="https://papercutsjp.com/?q=h.tviewer&amp;using_sb=status&amp;qsb=keyword&amp;qse=cBeH0n3IZ8yaMOiqJO2EhA" target="_blank">Modern Tarot</a>.
