DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the official launch of A Simple Revolution: The Making of an 
 Activist Poet, we invite you to join us for a night of community, 
 refreshments, and a live reading by Judy.\n\nA Simple Revolution: The 
 Making of an Activist Poet is a compelling memoir about Judy Grahn’s life 
 in the Bay Area during the lesbian movement in the 60s and 70s. The 
 “simple” revolution she recounts involved not just the formation of new 
 institutions (the Women’s Press Collective, Oakland Feminist Women’s 
 Health Center, A Woman’s Place Bookstore), but the creation of whole new 
 ways of living, including collective feminist households that cut through 
 the political and social isolation of women. Presented in A Simple 
 Revolution is a historical account of both the Bay Area and of the gay 
 liberation movement never wholly told from such a perspective – that of a 
 working class white lesbian on the front lines of social 
 change.\n\nThroughout, Judy describes her involvement with iconic 
 scenes\nand figures of these years—the Altamont Music Festival, the Black 
 Panthers, the imprisoned Manson women, the Weather Underground, Inez 
 Garcia—sometimes as witness, sometimes as participant, sometimes as 
 instigator. Judy’s intellectual analysis of politics along with her 
 grounding in poetics make this memoir a meaningful, thoughtful and deeply 
 significant text.\n
