Poetic Obituaries: Assunta [Femia] regarded the phalluses

as glorifications of male power in a place sacred to the divine feminine. She destroyed them all with a hammer, celebrating the feat with an triumphant poem, "i smashed the phalloi."

Assunta proved to be too radical for the Radical Faeries, and a parting of the ways followed.

Hello Lowell Dude. Assunta was my best friend for over 30 years in San Francisco, Oakland and Wolf Creek. We lived together twice and went through many things together. It is pleasing to see another stream of interest and critical acclaim. If you with to communicate further it would be interesting to me. Until later, Jesse.
