  <about><![CDATA[Julene Tripp Weaver (formerly June Arlene Eggler)
My poem &quot;death walk&quot; 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 &quot;The Wailing Wall&quot; 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 &quot;Spin the Bottle&quot; 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:  &lt;i&gt;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, &lt;/i&gt; to name a few. 
My book has two reviews so far in Prick of the Spindle &lt;http://www.prickofthespindle.com/reviews/2.1/case_walking.htm&gt; and at Her Circle Ezine &lt;http://www.hercircleezine.com/index.php?s=Julene+Tripp+Weaver&gt;.
Garrison Keillor read my poem &quot;Only What I Can Do&quot; on The Writer's Almanac &lt;http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/programs/2007/12/17/#monday&gt;]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Audre Lorde, Joan Larkin, June Jordan, Sonia Sanchez, Judy Grahn, Nikki Giovanni]]></influences>    <hometown>Callicoon, New York</hometown>  <born_at>09/11/1952</born_at>
