Some Girls Riot collage art and zine cover, based on The Rolling Stones’s 1978 album cover by Peter Corriston and Hubert Kretzschmar, which they based on a Valmor Products Corporation print ad. I added the word "riot" by cutting up the band's name from the album cover then gluesticking the letters I cut. I also added the word “riot” here and there with a pen. Album cover, collage, ink. Zine dimensions: 5 1/4” x 8 1/2”. Album collage dimensions: 12” x 12”. 2017.

Unpublished work: A memoir, of course! Hundreds of poems and haiku and memoir essays. Lucretia’s collection of short fiction, Power Ballads, was inspired by the myths and legends surrounding groupies and rock stars, as is her novel, The Adventures of Annabelle Ballantyne, and also her treatment for an episodic docudrama, The Golden Era of Groupies. Fans with the band, groupies went further than just going to shows, venturing creative and sexual equality as they demonstrated the intersection of feminism with music, before being dismissed as playthings in the power ballad of music history. A presentation with Q & A about the book at the Popular Music Books in Process series can be found by clicking here: The Golden Era of Groupies: 1965-1978.
