HYSTERIA is a poet and performance artist who mixes costume, theater, and music into many of her sets. She dances around a few different topics in her writing, such as trauma, feminism, and mental health. Leaning heavily into morbid beauty as well, her first chapbook, Nature and the Amygdala (Pure Sleeze Press, September 2024), takes you deep into the woods, straight to the heart of the creatures that dwell there, and to the part of the brain that holds the fear of the unknown.
This is the Halloween edition of LSP, so feel free to attend in costume!
