DESCRIPTION:SMASH AND GRAB IS PUTTING IT LIGHTLY  On Friday, November 12, author, poet, 
 songwriter, the provocative Bambi Lake will be making an overdue debut at 
 7:00 p.m at the Wired Wash Café since her disappearance from literary 
 circles for nearly a decade. She will read from her latest collection of 
 poetry, Smash and Grab, published by Magenta Press of San Francisco.  Smash 
 and Grab is the sequel to Lake’s, The Unsinkable Bambi Lake, which is now 
 out of print and has since become a fixture on the reading list as a 
 “must read” for not only the transgender community, but anyone 
 questioning their sexuality.   It is a collection of poems drawn from an 
 impressionistic memoir of the spoken word poetry venues and parties during 
 the wild nineties in San Francisco. Bambi’s quest has been described by 
 Exene Cervenka, front-woman from the band X that stood out in the early 
 ‘80\'s Los Angeles punk scene, as “life that has been a protest march 
 in high heels.”  Lake continues to influence and inspire her readers by 
 approaching any and all insecurities to forcefully overcome any fears of 
 true individuality. “It’s good to see that Bambi has put out books 
 about her life because it’s been one of a kind and an inspiration for 
 anyone who wants to stand up for themselves,“ notes famed spoken word 
 artist and musician, Henry Rollins in his introduction to Smash and Grab.  
 The reading promises to be an inspiration to writers in search of an inner 
 voice that begs to be heard throughout the Santa Cruz community to uphold 
 its progressive history of transgender issues.  \n
