Kristi Coulter

My friend Kristi Coulter and I go back a ways – to the old Usenet newsgroup days of the early 90s, particularly the newsgroup alt.music.alternative.female, where her insights enlightened me and her prose style thrilled me.

“Second-tier complaints”

A daily joy of mine – a true joy – is reading whatever Kristi Coulter has put on her FB wall. From yesterday: Someone named Chad emailed to let me know “Enjoli” is all about First World Problems.

Her prose was surpassingly graceful and witty. Indeed, […]

Our artists: Lincoln Clarkes, Marilyn […]

Yoga behind bars

A wonderful initiative. From an interview with Kristi Coulter on Caroline Leavitt’s blog: Yoga Behind Bars is a nonprofit here in Seattle that offers free yoga and meditation classes to incarcerated people throughout the Washington state prison system; I’m on the board of directors. Prison is an insanely stressful, dehumanizing environment–we try to counter that […]
