Exene Cervenka
     
 

As the vocalist and lyricist for the seminal Los Angeles rock band X, Exene Cervenka has rightfully established her reputation as a performer and writer of extraordinary conviction and skill.

In addition to her role in X, whose first two albums, "Los 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 audio recordings including "English as a Second Language" (a spoken word compilation), "Two Sisters" (with poet Wanda Coleman), and "Cause" (a benefit compilation for the pro-choice organization Rock For Choice).
