about this author
Julene Tripp Weaver (formerly June Arlene Eggler)
My poem "death walk" won third prize for poetry from the Unfinished Works Competition sponsored by AIDS Services Foundation Orange County. I read this poem at their World AIDS Day, Dec 1, 2006, candlelight vigil and art opening.
I created a spoken word performance "The Wailing Wall" which I performed at Seattle's Intimate Stage in July 2003. With assistance from Joe Plotts a CD was made incorporating my poetry slowed down to pure breath, words and wails.
Another performance piece "Spin the Bottle" features my poems about women's sexuality. The photo on my page is from this performance.
I have practiced Continuum Movement since 1988 when I took my first intensive with founder Emilie Conrad. In 1996 I took my first intensive by Emilie and Rebecca Mark: Muse to Write combining Continuum with language. This was revolutionary and the beginning conception to both create performance pieces and to run my own Muse To Write circles, which I did for ten years in Seattle.
My poetry and some fiction appear in a variety of journals including: The Main Street Rag, Crab Creek Review, The Healing Muse, Nerve Cowboy, Arnazella, Arabesques Review, Off the Coast, Letters to the World Poems from the Wom-Po LISTSERV, to name a few.
My book has two reviews so far in Prick of the Spindle <http://www.prickofthespindle.com/reviews/2.1/case_walking.htm> and at Her Circle Ezine <http://www.hercircleezine.com/index.php?s=Julene+Tripp+Weaver>.
Garrison Keillor read my poem "Only What I Can Do" on The Writer's Almanac <http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/programs/2007/12/17/#monday>
