About
Yvonne lives in Berkeley, California with her partner and their four-legged family. During the day, she works at a racial justice think tank, crunching numbers to eradicate white supremacy. At night and sometimes weekends, she sits at her computer, trying to make sense of the world.
These are the fruits of her attempts. Apologies in advance if they are sometimes sour, not always sweet, unripe or not fully ready to launch. Yvonne is working on her craft of writing and playing with using all five senses.
Yvonne tweets, shares what she reads, makes friends, takes pictures, and watches video. Occasionally, she chats and talks on the phone. She loves hearing from you at yvonnegrapher at gmail dot com.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“New York Is Anarchist Country”: 2008 NYC Anarchist Bookfair Scheduled for Sat., April 12
NEW YORK – Following up its very successful debut last year, the 2nd Annual NYC Anarchist Bookfair is scheduled to be held on Sat., April 12, again at Judson Memorial Church in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. Last year’s Bookfair attracted over 1,500 visitors and featured 60 independent publishers, booksellers, infoshops, zines, record labels, media creators, and labor and other activist groups, plus an art show, live performance, and 12 panels, presentations, and workshops over two days.
This year’s Bookfair will be an even bigger event, with more panels, workshops, and skillshares extending over both Saturday and Sunday at Judson Memorial Church and a second venue to be announced shortly. Topics will include the ABCs of anarchist theory and practice, anarcha-feminism, anarchist publishing, anarchist education, urban and indigenous social movements, and anarchist/queer activism.
Alongside Saturday’s exhibitors will be an expanded show of Anarchist Art. An Anarchist Film Festival and an Anarchist Cabaret are planned for the afternoon and evening of Fri., April 11.
“Anarchism is at the core of so much of today’s activism, from opposition to the ‘war on terror’ to support for communities under siege like the people of New Orleans post-Katrina,” says Pat Trinidad, a Bookfair organizer. “It’s also part of the fabric of New York, going back to the time when Emma Goldman made Greenwich Village her home. Last year we introduced this revolutionary and creative movement to hundreds of people who had never heard of anarchism before except as an insult or an accusation. This year’s Bookfair will provide a way for the anarcho-curious to find out more about us, and for anarchists from across the Northeast area to organize, learn, and share their skills.”
The 2008 Anarchist Bookfair is organized by The Bookfair Collective. Food and free childcare will be available.
