Surrealist Doodle
This was used as the cover of Karawane in 2006 and I have included it in on a number of bags and postcards over the years. Someone on the subway asked me if it was a Miro. I was very flattered!

Me in New York in 1972
About Me
- Fluffy Singler
- Fluffy Singler is a poet, writer, performer, performance artist, etc. She publishes the journal Karawane: Or, the Temporary Death of the Bruitist, restarting it after a 10 year hiatus. She has an MA from NYU, is pursuing a second MA at Western Illinois University, and has all of the coursework done towards her PhD at the University of Minnesota. She believes the radical political potential of avant garde values in performance poetry to confront Spectacle (as defined by Debord in Society of the Spectacle) and Myth (as defined by Roland Barthes in Myth Today). In short, she believes in the Surrealist goal liberation of the imagination as a highly political act.
