Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone in-between we’re back for 2026! Your hosts WILL be back on their bullsh*t for Aquarius season. To kick off the year, we’re welcoming back Kristine Esser Slentz.

KRISTINE ESSER SLENTZ is a queer writer of Maltese descent, raised in the Chicagoland area. A cult escapee and GED holder, she is the author of EXHIBIT: an amended woman, depose (FlowerSong Press, 2021, 2024) and the forthcoming collection face-to-faces (ThirtyWest Publishing House, 2026). A TEDx participant and regular contributor to The Saturday Evening Post, her work has also appeared in TriQuarterly, Five Points, and elsewhere. KRISTINE is the co-founder, organizer, and host of Adverse Abstraction, a monthly experimental artist series in New York City’s East Village. She also produces and performs in Verse & Vision, a stage production currently in a micro-residency at NYC’s DADA, and that has just completed a second run at the IndyFringe Festival. Follow her art on Substack at Carnations & Car Crashes.
