 California. Her novella California was published by Teenage Teardrops 
 (primarily a record label that does limited edition vinyl releases) in 
 December 2008. Currently she is working on a book of fiction titled The 
 Scariest Movie Ever Made, a collection of poems called The Pinking Sky, and 
 a collaborative book project with painter Maureen Gallace who shows at 303 
 Gallery in New York and was in last years Whitney Biennial. In addition, 
 Amra writes critical essays and reviews about contemporary art, music, 
 film, and literature. Her writing has appeared in Artforum, Spin Magazine, 
 index, the LA Weekly, The Encyclopedia Project Volume F-K, and many other 
 publications. She has taught at the University of California in Santa Cruz 
 and San Diego, and Naropa University. Currently she lives in Pennsylvania 
 where she teaches writing at Muhlenberg College.\n\nGreg Youmans recently 
 earned his Ph.D. from the History of Consciousness program at UC Santa 
 Cruz.  His doctoral research focused on gay and lesbian activist and 
 experimental filmmaking of the late 1970s, in the context of the 
 mobilization of the religious right, the nascent moral panic around child 
 sexuality, and the channeling of gay and lesbian politics into a liberal, 
 rights-based agenda.  His book on the paradigm-shifting gay and lesbian 
 documentary Word is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives (Mariposa Film Group, 
 1977) was just published as part of Arsenal Pulp Press's series of volumes 
 on Queer Film Classics.  He is currently at work on a larger book project 
 entitled Moral Panic Media: Gay and Lesbian Filmmaking in the Time of Anita 
 Bryant.  Youmans is also a programmer and maker of films and videos.  In 
 collaboration with Chris Vargas, he makes the ongoing video series Falling 
 in Love... with Chris and Greg.  \n\nMonique Jenkinson (AKA Fauxnique) is a 
 multifaceted performing artist whose work hurls itself into the gaps 
 between dance, theater, drag and performance art. She has been called 
 ‘hilarious’ with an ‘intellectual spark’ and ‘enough to make a 
 girl want to revisit her Susan Sontag.’ She has created and performed 
 locally and internationally at ODC Theater, CounterPULSE, Yerba Buena 
 Center for the Arts, the de Young Museum, and Trannyshack in San Francisco; 
 Danspace Project, the New Museum, Howl Festival, Vandam and the Stonewall 
 in New York; the Met Theatre in Los Angeles; the Coachella music festival; 
 and in Reykjavik, Amsterdam and London. \nMonique’s drag queen alter ego, 
 Fauxnique, is a prolific fixture on the experimental performance scene, 
 getting her start at the legendary weekly San Francisco nightclub 
 Trannyshack, and making history as the first woman to win the infamous Miss 
 Trannyshack Pageant. She appears in the documentary Filthy Gorgeous: the 
 Trannyshack Story and the April/May ’08 issue of Bust magazine. Recent 
 accolades include: ‘Best Drag Act’ in the San Francisco Bay 
 Guardian’s 2009 Best of the Bay Readers’ Poll, 7X7 Magazine’s ‘Hot 
 20 Under 40,’ and a Guardian Outstanding Local Discovery Award (GOLDIE) 
 for Performance. \n\nPriscilla Lee recived her B.A. in English from 
 University of California at Berkeley. A recipient of both the Emily 
 Chamberlain Cook Poetry Prize and the James D. Phelan Literary Award, her 
 poems have appeared in Ploughshares, The Kenyon Review, ZYZZYVA, Storming 
 Heaven's Gate: An Anthology of Women's Spiritual Writing (Plume), Making 
 More Waves: New Writing by Asian American Women (Beacon Press), and other 
 journals and anthologies. She is the author of the poetry collection 
 Wishbone, described by Carolyn Forche as 'Poignant and absorbing . . . 
 street-pure . . . wise.'\n
