KARA LAURENE PERNICANO

Kara Laurene Pernicano celebrates queer feminisms, trauma narratives and disability justice. Her work is hybrid, poetic, documentary and memoiresque. She often remixes image and text to reconstruct fragments of memory. She dabbles in everything from the apostrophe to the collage, actively exploring a comic-drawing practice. Artist and writer, she often hears a lyric quality in text messages and overanalyzes the use of parentheticals. She is a MFA Candidate in Creative Writing and Literary Translation at Queens College, CUNY and an Adjunct Lecturer in English for CUNY. She holds an MA in Literary and Cultural Studies with a Certificate in Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies from the University of Cincinnati.
