Acker’s style is fragmented, tough, and direct … crammed with downtown art-scene referenced, obsessive sexuality, and energetic language.”\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis copy comes from the collection of Ira Silverberg.

Anne Turyn’s Top Stories series was primarily dedicated to experimental writing by women. It ran from 1978 to 1991, publishing 29 titles. While the editorial sensibility was cast widely, it featured much of the underground art scene, including Laurie Anderson, Constance DeJong, Jenny Holzer, Jane Dickson, and more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePROVENANCE: Ira Silverberg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e#1064\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heavenacid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47639651614804,"sku":"1064","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/4811\/9124\/files\/1064.jpg?v=1788790215","url":"https:\/\/heavenacid.com\/products\/acker-kathy-new-york-city-in-1979","provider":"Heavenacid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
