The 7th Sense – Victoria Stanton, Co-author (with the TouVA Collective)
Comprised of essays, a glossary, as well as contributions by 30 contemporary performance artists, The 7th Sense: Practicing Dialogues / Practicing Workshops / Practicing the Daily Performative / Practicing Performance Art surveys the performative in, with and through language – how we articulate what happens before, during and after a performative action – to express what is experienced by the artist who proposes a work, and by the audience who receives it.
Impure: Reinventing the Word – Victoria Stanton, Co-author
Victoria Stanton and Vincent Tinguely’s Impure: Reinventing the Word (conundrum press, 2001) explores the theory and practice of spoken word and the history of Montreal’s spoken-word scene from the 1960s to 2001 (its year of publication). With interviews by 75 French and English performers (including the inimitable New York poet John Giorno), it serves as an invaluable resource for those interested in the medium which has single-handedly revitalized poetry for a new generation. Impure makes a perfect textbook for Cultural Studies and English departments across North America!
The Portable Conundrum – Victoria Stanton, Contributor; Andy Brown, Editor
…In which you can read my short story “Dee-Dee the Epilator,” a hilarious (and almost too-brief) romp through Lisa’s grade 10 experience of dubious friendship, new musical adventures, heartbreak, and awful menstrual cramps (all rolled into one). In this unabridged – literally pocket-sized – compendium containing the summation of a decade’s worth of publishing from one of Canada’s most innovative publishers.
Career Suicide! The Moosehead Anthology – Victoria Stanton, Contributor; Jon Paul Fiorentino, Editor
…In which you can read my short story that continues Lisa’s adventures, this time in grade 11, following the fallout of wisdom teeth being pulled and bubbles being burst at a ridiculously disappointing live concert of her beloved favourite band from 1987. In Career Suicide, a collection of a new generation of funny talkers whose poems and stories find their laughs, as we all do, in the limitations of human experience and, one suspects, pre-mixed mai tais.
SHORT FUSE: The Global Anthology of New Fusion Poetry – Victoria Stanton, Contributor; Phil Norton & Todd Swift, Editors
…In which you can read my angular and for-the-page stage poetry in what has been dubbed the first major global collection of poetry from the 21st-century penned by the poets who are defining world literature and culture.
