The Real Ann Hirsch: The Power of Performative... →
jemcham:
My first encounter with Ann Hirsch’s performance work was through a YouTube link a stranger had posted on my friend’s Facebook wall.

Pretty Flowers review on The Lit Pub
magulladon:
My review of Gabby Gabby’s Pretty Flowers is now up on The Lit Pub.
