Lix and Kix Poetry with Ra Washington, Kisha Nicole Foster and Lisa Vicious August 18, 2009

Three fantastic featured poets/performers and an ever-exciting open mic emceed by Dianne Borsenik and John "Jesus Crisis" Burroughs at one of the coolest venues on the west side of Greater Cleveland or anywhere!

Lisa Vicious is an artist, writer & performer from Detroit, Michigan, who defies all definition. According to Buddha JuNk, "If Nick Cave and Leadbelly fucked a baby into Lydia Lunch, she’d be Lisa Vicious." Her books, The Devil in Ms. Vicious and Take for Pain as Needed, have received rave reviews.

Ra Washington is a writer, musician & multimedia artist from Cleveland, as well as producing director for the music label Cleveland Tapes. His dozen books include the recent novellas HUEbris and OPEN and several highly regarded collections of poetry. His work also appears in Cleveland Poetry Scenes.
