Bios:
Patrica Carragon’s work tends to
be edgy and humorous, written by an outsider looking in.
Hilary Lustick’s work focuses on
the human experience generally with a special focus on the weird and ironic
vicissitudes that make it most meaningful. This will be her second reading at
Bluestockings, the first having been as a contributor to Milk and Honey, an
anthology of women’s lesbian poetry.
