Dossier of Creative Work by Kris Kovick (K2)


Bibliography


Caveat: Kris and I worked on this the week she died. I somehow lost the copy with her additions and final edits on the day before she died. Please e-mail corrections and additions to: saramoore - at - gmail.com. Also, forgive how inconsistent and non-MLA-conformant this is. I'll fix it later.

Live Performances

    Kris performed, hosted and featured hundreds of times at open microphones, conferences, workshops, creative writing classes, performance art venues, galleries, book stores, music festivals, theatres, cafes and bars.

    The anthology Girlfriend Number One (1994) is a selection of pieces heard at a monthly performance series which Kris organized and hosted from 1991 to 1993 at Red Dora's Bearded Lady Truckstop Cafe.

    In 1999, 2000, and 2001 Kris performed on tour in the Pacific Northwest with Sister Spit, the notorious San Francisco-based all-girl poetry and performance circus organized by award-winning writers and performers Michelle Tea and Sini Anderson.

    In 2001 Kris founded a performance and digital-recording production company and web-based archive called San Francisco in Exile (SFinX) Live at the Jon Sims Center , which kicked off its series in March 2001 with a bill that included Kris' performance of an as-yet unpublished piece about the Milk/ Moscone assassinations. This performance was recorded, and the recording may be posted publicly to the website www.SFinX.org at some point in the future.
