Get this on TV now

After watching an outtake of Inside Edition featuring Bill O'Reilly flipping out and subsequently learning that CBS had YouTube put an end to the entertainment I needed to find something to wipe the brackish taste out of my mouth. That's when I searched for Kate Braverman.

The first video is one of her and a couple ladies (I think the one on the left is Katie Moses, author of Wintering) during one of Braverman's Fusion City nights. She used to throw these readings at Edinburgh Castle in San Francisco. Here we have Braverman reading aloud Plath's poem, Lesbos.

I uber-heart Kate Braverman. To me, she's equal parts Courtney Love, Galadriel and Catwoman. Then sprinkled with freshly-grated brilliance and served with a mint infused cocktail.
