In 2008, I and three other poets who are featured in Fat Poets Speak 1, two of them also in Fat Poets Speak 2, gave a surprisingly good rendering of my weird but amusing performance piece entitled "SUPER DUPER Incontrovertibly Incredible Unrelentingly EXCITING FAT ACCEPTANCE Multiple Choice Test." The three poets were Lesleigh Owen, Anne Kaplan and Corinna Makris.
People who watched it enjoyed it so much that they suggested we form our own Fat Liberation theatrical group, an endeavor in which we were nobly preceded by the Fat Lip Readers Theater.
Performance pieces are actually more like plays than poems. But who's to say that we are mono-talented, we fat poets? Am oh so tempted to try for a volume of performance pieces. Alas, there are only so many hours in a day.
