A multi-layered work featuring animation, archival footage and interviews with the likes of William Burroughs, Carolee Schneemann and Richard Hell, this is a thoughtful biography/essay on the late outlaw writer and punk icon, whose formally inventive novels, published from the 70s through the mid-90s, appropriated texts from Great White Male writers and challenged assumptions about gender roles, sexuality, and the literary canon. This film captures the essence of both Acker the writer and Acker the person, while celebrating the avant-garde legacy of an artist who forever expanded the limits of self-expression.

I also consider her one of my influences. Eat your mind: what else do you need to know?

'Your mind is eating you, now you must eat your mind.' Hell yeah!

Nice work. I love In Memorium To Identity and also Blood and Guts In High School. She was a very cool writer who made a lot of worthy experiments in language and form.
