DEXTER FLOWERS

Born in Santa Cruz California, but currently based in Portland OR, Dexter Flowers is a Sardonic Enthusiast, leading her readers through her witty, honest, and dark sense of humor. She is working on a collection of memoirs with topics that include growing up with a single mom who was a witch on food stamps, tales of unicorn goats, and preteen visits to hippy polyamorous communes. She is also working on finishing her novel that is based on her experiences as a Social Worker, tentatively titled The Ones Who Got Caught. She hosts an open mic at In Other Words, a non-profit feminist bookstore and has been a guest performer at San Francisco's Radar Reading series, as well as Lewis and Clarke College, PSU, amongst others. Dexter is a contributor to the anthology Baby Remember My Name, which recieved an excellent review in Publishers Weekly where she was specifically garnished praise for her "rebellious" tale. She is also a contributor to the recently released book It's So You-- both edited by Michelle Tea. Maybe it was something you ate is her zine and she plays keys/sings in a surfy new wave band called Seagull and Wave.
