Cooper Lee Bomardier
Cooper Lee Bombardier grew up in Abington,
Massachusetts. After living in San Francisco
for
nine years, he recently relocated to Santa Fe,
New Mexico. Cooper Lee is a transgender
visual
artist, writer, performer, sometimes actor and
host of a monthly queer and trans
performance
cabaret in Santa Fe called LISP. Cooper has
performed and shown visual art extensively in
the Bay Area, and has performed across the
country both with Sister Spit and by himself.
He
has spoken on panels of artists at events
such
as Hampshire College’s Art And Social
Change
Conference in 2001, and was a featured artist
in
the 2001 National Queer Arts Festival. Cooper
appears on the cover of The Drag King Book,
a
famous image by Mr. Del LaGrace Volcano
that has
turned up in all sorts of weird places, such as
Strange Universe, and Sex and the City (sorry
Sarah, that ain’t a sock!) Cooper has
appeared
on the Maury Povich Show, and was the lead
actor
in The Ride, a film by trans filmmaker Bill
Basquin which won a Golden Gate Award at
the
2001 San Francisco International Film
Festival.
Cooper was recently published in the
anthology
Lowdown Highway, from Junkyard Books, and
will
appear in the forthcoming trans anthology on
Manic D Press edited by Morty Diamond.
Cooper
pays the rent by working construction, painting
houses, welding, and as a union stagehand
and
set builder.
Len Plass
Len Plass grew from a sprout indifferent
areas
of Connecticut. She moved to Massachusetts
in
1996 and, for a brief stint, attended Boston's
Emerson College where she began
performing
spoken word. She then moved west,
eventually to
San Francisco where she owned and ran the
Bearded Lady Cafe from 1999 until its closing
in
2001. That same year, she co-founded
Junkyard
Books and is published in their debut
anthology,
Lowdown Highway. She has performed at
many
events in and around the Bay Area, including
Girlfest by Shane Star Productions, Sister Spit
and a benefit for the Nectar Stage at the SF
Gay
Pride Festival. Len Plass writes ragged, self-
loathing tales about every tired, worn-out kind
of heartbreak. She has no formal training as a
writer and holds true to that standard.
