The Cross-Gender Caravan
The Cross-Gender Caravan, brings three cutting-edge authors to our campus.
Tennessee Jones, Deliver Me from Nowhere, Charlie Anders, Choir Boy, and Carolyn Connelly, A Brooklyn Diary as part of a 26 city tour.
Tennessee Jones was born in Appalachia and now lives in Brooklyn, NY. He is the author of the long-running underground zine Teenage Death Songs. His work has appeared in the Best American Erotica series, LI T Magazine, Web del Sol and Lodestar Quarterly.
Charlie Anders was a choirboy in men-and-boys choirs at three different cathedrals. She is the author of The Lazy Crossdresser (Greenery Press, May 2004), a guide for anyone-especially those born male-who feels inadequate in women's clothing. Her writing has been published in the anthologies Pills Chills Thrills & Heartache, Pinned Down By Pronouns, Five Minute Erotic, Best Bisexual Erotica 1 and 2, Best Transgender Erotica and The Anti-Capitalism Reader.
Charlie Anders is the publisher of Other Magazine and former editor of Anything That Moves, the now- defunct magazine for bisexuals. Her work has been published in Salon, San Francisco Bay Guardian, ZYZZYVA and Punk Planet. Charlie Anders long-running bi-coastal spoken word event "Writers with Drinks" was named Best of Boston by the Improper Bostonian and "Best of the Bay" in the San Francisco Bay Guardian readers' poll. Charlie currently lives in San Francisco, CA.
Carolyn Connelly is an Irish-Italian Slayer-listening femme dyke and a spoken word artist and activist. She is author of A Brooklyn Diary, a 48-page zine filled with passionate, frank and gutsy poetry and short stories about growing up queer in Brooklyn and coming out as a transsexual in a working class family. When she is not out raising hell on the stage or in the streets, you can find her in Prospect Park playing with her pit bull Saoirse.
