Jan Steckel's Blog: Horizontal Poet Sings Bidyke Blues - Posts Tagged "women"
Jazz, Giovanna and me....
Happy Pride, y'all! We marched in a Bisexual contingent in the San Francisco Pride parade today. So good to see old friends and make some new ones there. It was even fun lying on the sidewalk for two hours waiting for our contingent to move -- I got to look up a lot of skirts, some worn by women.
Speaking of women, if you're not all put off by the objectification (which in my case is strictly equal opportunity), I hope the women among you will consider coming to my July 10 reading in Piedmont/Oakland, CA, USA:
"Works in Progress Reading and Concert
(An Open Mic for Women)
Saturday, July 10, 2010, 6:30pm - 10 pm
Fireside Room, Plymouth United Church of Christ

The driveway on Monte Vista goes to the Fireside Room, parking lot & wheelchair access.
SIXTH ANNIVERSARY PARTY !!!
Poetry, music, champagne and cake for everyone!
Featuring Jan Steckel. Jan’s incredible poetry will leave you thrilled, stunned and grateful. Her Mixing Tracks (Gertrude Press, 2009) won the Gertrude Press fiction chapbook award for LGBT writers. The Underwater Hospital (Zeitgeist Press, 2006) won in the lesbian and bisexual poetry categories for an international Rainbow Award. www.jansteckel.com.
And Giovanna Capone. An Italian American poet and fiction writer, Giovanna’s work has appeared in numerous publications, including Unsettling America: An Anthology of Contemporary Multicultural Poetry, ed. by M. & J. Gillan. Her work has been taught in Poetry for the People, a grassroots-oriented workshop at UC Berkeley. Currently, she is at work on a manuscript of her original poetry.
Introducing Cheri Anderson, a contemporary jazz vocal stylist who infuses lyrics that are rooted in Love, music that is "Jazzin' the Spirit.” With songs about love, love of God, love of ourselves, and love of one another, Cheri sings with the smoothness of Nancy Wilson and the huskiness of Phyllis Hymen in a range that reaches five octaves.
