Daphne Gottlieb is a Queer San Francisco-based performance poet. Critics have praised her work as "fierce," "unapologetic," "scorching" and "deliriously gutsy." She has been widely published in journals including The Utne Reader, Tikkun, nerve.com, mcsweeney?s.net, Exquisite Corpse and Instant City. Her work has appeared in a number of anthologies including Don?t Forget to Write!, Red Light: Saints, Sinners and Sluts, With a Rough Tongue: Femmes Write Porn and Short Fuse: A Contemporary Anthology of Global Performance Poetry. She is also the cover girl on San Francisco Noir. Besides anchoring three national performance poetry tours, recently featuring with Maggie Estep, Hal Sirowitz and Lydia Lunch, Gottlieb has also appeared across the country with the Slam America bus tour and with notorious all-girl wordsters Sister Spit. She has performed at festivals coast-to-coast, including South by Southwest, Bumbershoot, and Ladyfest Bay Area. Until 2006, she served as the poetry editor of the online queer literary magazine Lodestar Quarterly.
