Today is the Femme Show’s turn for the Virtual Book Tour for Visible: A Femmethology, the two-volume anthology about femme out now from Homofactus Press. All our blogger friends are weighing in throughout April, and it’s so much fun I think we can go on a virtual tour. Not sure how that works for performance artists, though. Maybe I can ask folks to post our youtube videos all over the place? So much easier than actual touring!

This anthology is almost daunting in its breadth and depth. At it’s best, it feels like the best kitchen table discussion ever – femmes and friends with days and days worth of stories to share, opening their lives and letting you in. There’s hot coffee and hard liquor and lemonade and you can stay all night. My favorite essays are personal reflections that are well-written enough to pull you into their world. The Femme Show is represented by Sassafras and by Peggy Munson, who was in our first ever show. There are some new favorites and (JD Dykes and J.C. Yu) and old ones (Hadassah Hill, Leah Lakshimi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Tara Hardy) among the 50+ contributors. This is definitely a wonderful way to expand the conversation about femme.
