Shock Treatment
Shock Treatment | Karen Finley
3 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
Shock Treatment includes Karen Finley's most provocative and acclaimed performance monologues, essays, and poems, with "The Constant State of Desire," "We Keep Our Victims Ready," "It's Only Art," and "The Black Sheep." Excoriating misogyny, homophobia, abusive families, greed, and state coercion of bodies and minds, Finley holds out hope for a world informed not by hate and fear, but by truth and unconditional love.

“We're related to people we love who can't say -
I love you Black Sheep daughter
I love you Black Sheep son -
I love you outcast, I love you outsider
But tonight we love each other -
That's why we're here -
to be around others like ourselves -
So it doesn't hurt quite so much -“

A happy birthday today to Karen Finley.
