Fuck Me Human
Her book FUCK ME HUMAN is now for sale at Lulu.com ! It's more expensive online, because it's a prettier book with new poems and photographs. If you want the cheap one, you're just going to have to find her at a venue.
Her personal myspace page is listed further down. Her Livejournal name is shazzathegreat so if you LJ (and what poet doesn't) friend her, as she loves friends.
