Cori Crooks's Blurbs |
About me:
Writer, artist, and sometimes musician.
"Cori Crooks, artist and writer first made heads turn with her art/life blog, "A Gag Reflex", where she documented her quest for a DNA test and aired the results to the public. (Along with some photos of her mother posing in white cotton panties, circa 1950.) Her gutsy writing style and offbeat storytelling has since landed her a cult following and literary representation with Wendy Sherman Associates Inc., NYC. Look out for more from this new generation author."
Who me?
Current projects:
Editing my book, "Sweet Charlotte's Seventh Mistake", due to be released December 08 by Seal Press. If you're a hipster and need to be the first on your block to sport a copy... pre-order it here on Amazon.com.
Sweet Charlotte’s Seventh Mistake, is a collection of essays, poetry, vintage images, art, and documents that tell of the complex relationship Crooks had with her dead, drug addict, con-artist mother. Throughout the memoir, Crooks comes to terms with her past as an abandoned child, and explains the losses of her 6 older siblings while discovering the true identity of her own biological father. All of these haunting elements combine to tell a multi-layered story about identity, grief, and the consequences of truth. "
A graphic novel project with artist David Ferrin, based on my zine short, "The Bathroom Story".
Putting the finishing touches on my second book, "Cherryland"... a wry and heart warming coming-of-age story about how a sexually abused girl overcomes her lot and "loses" her "virginity"- on her own terms.
News:
Jewelry currently on consignment with the American Museum of Ceramic Art! Woohoo!
