I put up a simple page of MP3s I have of the late Lisa King winning an Amazon Super Slam at http://users.rcn.com/ngender/lisaking The first four of these tracks are actually on MySpace which you can go to directly at http://www.myspace.com/lisakingaudio. You can either stream or download the MP3s at MySpace. The first track will automatically start playing when the page loads, which is a little eerie. I know that those of you who knew Lisa and her work will be going to the site to listen, but I also urge those of you who have never heard Lisa's work to go too. The poems are a decade (or more) old, but they still hold up. The tracks also give you a good idea of what a vital, funny presence Lisa was on stage even when she wasn't performing poetry. Please tell your friends to go to the site and listen too. As I say in the accompanying note on both sites, Lisa really wanted her name and her work known.

The original cassette off of which I took Lisa's poems was damaged so that part of one of Lisa's poems and three from other performers aren't on it anymore. I gave away a whole lot of these cassettes to audience members at a March 2000 Super Slam. If you have a cassette labeled The Amazon Super Slam 12/28/96 I'd love to hear from you. You can email me at this address. Thanks. You can read a slightly longer version of this post at http://girlsnqueers.livejournal.com/5325.html

One last note: Lisa left behind two cats, a brother and sister that friends and relatives would rather not separate. If you are interested please email Aliza at Truthserum dot org.
