HEXENTEXTE is a Los Angeles-based feminist project dedicated to the research, presentation, and publication of works at the intersection of image, text, and the body. HEXENTEXTE borrows her name from Unica Zurn’s book of anagrammatic poems and automatic drawings.
Kim Young is an award-winning author of two books of poetry: Night Radio, winner of the Agha Ali Shahid Poetry Prize and finalist for the Kate Tufts Discovery Award, and Tigers celebrated in reviews and described by LA Poet Laureate Lynne Thompson as “mesmerizing.” Her writing has appeared in Alta Journal, The Cincinnati Review, TriQuarterly, LitHub, Western Humanities Review, Barrelhouse, LA Review of Books, Los Angeles Review, and other magazines and anthologies. She edited for many years the literary journal Chaparral, which featured interviews and new writing from Maggie Nelson, Jericho Brown, Victoria Chang and many others. She is currently at work on a hybrid book of memoir and biography on the late poet Lee McCarthy, and is represented by Bonnie Nadell at the Hill Nadell Literary Agency.
Cindy Rehm is a Los Angeles-based artist and an educator. She serves as co-facilitator of the Cixous Reading Group and is co-founder of the feminist-centered projects Craftswoman House and Feminist Love Letters. She is the founder and former director of spare room, a DIY installation space in Baltimore, MD. Rehm’s interdisciplinary practice moves between drawing, performance, and video to address the cultural suppression of women’s narratives and the legacy of hysteria.
