PHILADELPHIA: The Erotic Literary Salon, unique in the English-speaking world has launched a growing movement mainstreaming erotica. Salons attract a supportive audience of 40 or more individuals. Approximately half participate as writers, readers, storytellers, spoken word performers of original works/words of others, the rest just come to listen, enjoy and applaud. Lily, our resident nonagenarian (92 years young) often recites her original erotica.
The next Salon will be held Tuesday, January 19. Part of the evening will feature musician, author, visual artist and actress, Cassendre Xavier (aka Amethyste Rah, aka Amrita Waterfalls) sharing her words and music. A true “Renaissance Negresse” a term she coined in 2002, recipient of the Leeway Foundation Transformation Award for her “work in art and change,” and founder of Philadelphia’s renowned annual Black Women’s Arts Festival. www.cassEndrExavier.com
