“Her poems are self-examining without being egocentric; they’re candid and funny as hell. Picture the leather-boots-lovin’ Evennou as Pink at a poetry open mic, but don’t be put off: There’s room for hipsters, experimental artists, doped-out art-school rejects, pump-wearing wordsmiths, and even middle-of-the-road poetry lovers in her words.”

“‘It’s interesting to perform a poem with queer content for different audiences,’ she says. ‘With the same poem, I can feel like I’m speaking to a room full of people who have had the same experience or that I’m taking the audience to a mysterious and sacred place.’”
