About EMANUEL XAVIER

Emanuel Xavier is an American poet, spoken word artist, author, editor, events producer and actor born and raised in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn. He transitioned himself from a street hustler and drug dealer to become one of the most significant voices to emerge from the neo-Nuyorican spoken word poetry movement using political, sexual and religious themes throughout his work. His background heritage is Puerto Rican and Ecuadorian. Emanuel - Nueva york

His work has appeared in many publications including The James White Review, Genre, Long Shot, Virgins, Guerrillas & Locas, and Queer & Catholic. He is the recipient of the Marsha A. Gomez Cultural Heritage Award and a New York City Council citation for his many contributions.

Emanuel Xavier has published two collections of poetry, Pier Queen and Americano. He also edited two anthologies: Bullets & Butterflies: queer spoken word poetry and Mariposas: A Modern Anthology of Queer Latino Poetry. He also selected finalists for Best Gay Erotica 2008. His next poetry collection, Just Like Jesus, is forthcoming from Floricanto Press along with two spoken word/music CD's due out in 2009, Gomorrah and Sodom, produced by El David. He has also been featured as a spoken word artist on Russell Simmons presents Def Poetry and appeared as an actor in the independent feature films, The Ski Trip and The Cult of Sincerity. He has performed at many colleges and universities such as Princeton University, Brown University, Amherst College, Columbia University, University of Chicago and many others — all as a spoken word artist. In 2008, Xavier was awarded a World Pride & Power Award for his work as an artist and political activist. He recently wrote a poem, "Urban Affection", commissioned by a private collector of Walt Whitman memorabilia for the 190th birthday anniversary of Walt Whitman. Also, in the Spring of 2009, Rebel Satori Press published a revised tenth anniversary edition of his semi-autobiographical novel, Christ Like. The novel description is as follows: Mikey is a spirited but self-destructive survivor of sexual abuse, a gay Latino native New Yorker caught somewhere between Catholic guilt and club kid decadence looking to fit in as part of a family. Instead, Mikey delves into a demimonde of petty thieves, prostitutes, and pushers. Haunted by a father that Mikey has never met, a difficult childhood, recurring nightmares, the reality of death, and Christ, the story unfolds through the ‘80’s and ‘90’s following him on his journey through a fascinating world filled with Santeros, transsexuals and voguing queens.

Emanuel Xavier is currently residing back in his barrio of Bushwick in Brooklyn, NY. His single, "Legendary (The E-Mix)", from the forthcoming CD, "Legendary- The Spoken Word Poetry of Emanuel Xavier" is now available for digital download on iTunes. You can visit his website at www.emanuelxavier.com for more information.

STOP Same Sex Abuse	Apr 17 2009 6:06 PM About this page: I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D ~ Dee ~
