A reading series and independent press that promotes the work of women writers who are adventurous, experimental, politically involved, multi-form, multicultural, multi-gendered, impossible to define, delicious to talk about, unpredictable, and dangerous with language.
Belladonna* was founded as a reading and salon series by
Rachel Levitsky at Bluestocking's Women's Bookstore on New York City's
Lower East Side in 1999. In 2000, in collaboration with Boog Literature,
Belladonna* began to publish commemorative 'chaplets' of the readers' work.
Erica Kaufman joined Levitsky as co-curator/editor in 2002. Then in 2005,
the series moved its events to the downtown performance venue, Dixon Place.
