TRANSLATION-NATION: “baby” is an alter-ego created and constructed by Elisabeth Houston, who is also known as EL_S_TH H__ST_ON – a dead and decapitated BABY poet who, at times, riffs off of the symbols of totalitarianism and plutocracy to create plays, poems, and videos about the end of the world. This is the end of the world, NOVEMBER 18th, 7:30 PM at Five Myles – be there or be square! this will be a reading that also serves as a round cracked mirror to reflect and refract our times. this will be a book launch and also a party, a site of glorious unfurling apocalypse. bring books, pens & bodies.
