band X, Exene Cervenka has rightfully established her reputation
as a performer and writer of extraordinary conviction and
skill.

Angeles" and "Wild Gift", were released to wide critical praise
In 1982, Cervenka has established herself as a dynamic and
compelling writer. She made the crossover from punk to poetry
in 1982 with "Adulterers Anonymous", a collaborative effort
with underground icon Lydia Lunch. Her other works include
"Poetry Loves Poetry", "Thought For Food", and "Virtual Unreality".
As a spoken word performer, she has also appeared on various
