Mindy
Nettifee is a performance poet and feminist
activist living in Long Beach, California. Her
work is funny and feisty and forceful as it
takes on the contemporary experience of women,
the perils of self-actualization, and the nature
of power in America. She has been hailed alternately
as “the future of poetry” (Bob Holman)
and “the next Dorothy Parker” (Poetic
Diversity Magazine.) After competing and coaching
in the national poetry slam for five years,
she has toured with her work both nationally
and internationally, published, taught, and
learned to breath poetry rather than oxygen.
She is a Pushcart prize nominee and her latest
book Sleepyhead Assassins was published to wide
critical acclaim on Moon Tide Press. She is
currently serves as board president of the Write
Now Poetry Society, co-produces the Best Contemporary
American Poetry Series, and blogs at:

Opening for Amber and Mindy is Youth Speaks Champ, Jocelyn Ng! Jocelyn is a 2 time Brave New Voices International Slam Poetry champion, 3 time Hawaii Interscholastic Slam champion, and the 2009 Youth Speaks Hawaii Grand Slam Co-Champ. She has been featured in the recent HBO documentary Russell Simmson’s present Brave New Voices and has performed on stages from the Lincoln Theatre in Washington D.C to the famous Chicago Theatre. She does not mince her words and her poetry displays the kind of naked honesty that forces you to examine your own humanity.

Tamblyn has been a writer and actress since
the age of 9. She was Emmy and Golden Globe
nominated for her work in the critically acclaimed
"Joan of Arcadia." She was nominated
for an Independent Spirit Award for her work
in the independent film, "Stephanie Daley,"
for which she received the best actress award
at Lacarno Film festival in Berlin. Amber has
published 3 books, "Of The Dawn,"
"Plenty Of Ships" and most recently
"Free Stallion." She has no idea what
these titles mean, but welcomes you to participate
in the ongoing investigation. Her work has been
published in New York Quarterly Magazine, The
New Yorker, San Francisco Chronicle, Writers
and Poets, Longshot Press, and the Annual anthology
"ONTHEBUS." "Free Stallion"
received a Border's Book Choice Award for 2006,
and a scathing review from some guy on amazon.com
saying, "as a writer I can assure that
Ms. Tamblyn is a fine sitcom actress."
She appreciates both.
She has just published
her 4th book titled, "Bang Ditto." Catch a sample at the show.
