   Lisa Marie's Blurbs
About me:
oh.. the 6 'p's - poet, performer, playwright, professor, philosopher, party girl all rolled up with an xtra creamy filling!

LisaMarie works with all kinds of musicians, writing music, lyrics and is always interested in collaborating. Poetry is her first love. She is available for writing/poetry/performance workshops and for poetry readings and solo show performances.

Raised in Tacoma, WA, Lisa Marie is a poet, producer, and playwright currently working in the Bay Area of California. She is a Ph.D. candidate in African Diaspora Studies at University of California, Berkeley. Lisa Marie's work is deep grooves, radical politics and sharp tongues. Her writing has appeared in The Ethiops Ear, Diaspora, The Drum Heart and others. She was co-host of Third Root, an open mic and poetry work shop in Pomona, CA from 1999-2001 and has performed up and down the West Coast at many spots including Common Grounds, Los Angeles' World Stage, and been a featured artist on KPFAs Los Angeles Inspiration House (1999-2003) and Illphonix on Jazz 88 in San Diego.

Some of her current work includes the development of a multimedia solo performance, Ungrateful Daughter . Ungrateful Daughter is Lisa Marie's 1st solo work and examines the life of one black girl adopted by white parents. She has performed Ungrateful Daughter at the Off-Market Theater, the San Francisco Solo Festival, The Marsh Theater SF, The Marsh Theater at Berkeley, The Shelton Theater and will be performing at other solo performance venues around the Bay.

LMarie was the co-producer of The Secret Circus, and is currently co-facilitator of Soul Lengua, a Writers Work Shop in Oakland, CA. (Come get your write on and be surrounded by a group of positive, fierce writers!) She is also working on a sci-fi/ speculative fiction novel and editing a creative collection - TRA Represent! - a work that displays the experiences of transracial adoptees from across the African Diaspora.

Lisa Marie is a transracial adoptee and the Founder and Executive Director of AFAAD (Adopted and Fostered Adults of the African Diaspora). Become a member and Join the adoptee only myspace group!

She likes playa dust, werewolves, trees and spiders.
Who I'd like to meet:
anyone down with revolution - and willing to chuck it all to change the world . . . and samurai jack...and Huey before he became a tv cartoon.

Hey Lisa,

I hope that you're well and happy and enjoying the adventure of life!

May 1st, International Workers' Day, commemorates the historic struggle of working people throughout the world, and is recognized in every country except the United States, Canada and South Africa. This despite the fact that the holiday began in the 1880s in the United States, with the fight for an eight-hour work day.

On this May 1st, in honor of this historic day, I'm making this special wish for you: May your work be fruitful and your harvest bountiful!

Abundant Love and Sunshine,
Setra
