ARIANA REINES is the author of “The Cow,” which won the Alberta Prize and was published by Fence in 2006, and “Coeur de Lion,” published by Mal-O-Mar in 2007. Her “TELEPHONE,” a play inspired by Avital Ronell’s “The Telephone Book: Technology, Schizophrenia, Electric Speech,” commissioned by the Foundry Theatre, was performed at The Cherry Lane Theatre in New York this past February. “My Heart Laid Bare,” her translation of intimate writings by Charles Baudelaire, and “Little Black Book: Days and Nights of an Anarchist Whore,” a translation of interviews and documents of Grisélidis Réal, are both forthcoming in 2009, from Mal-O-Mar and Semiotext(e), respectively. She'll be performing in the Works+Process series at the Guggenheim Museum in New York this fall. You can read her 2007 poem, “The Perforator God,” in the journal “Action Yes.”
