Student Lindsay Anderson reacts to Yedda Morrison’s BathHouse reading: The Fire of Yedda Morrison Yedda Morrison’s performance at the Student Center Auditorium was the experience of being seduced into her reality.  Her world, narrated with a quite, dreamlike urgency and lit by a single, tentative lantern light, sucked in its audience with a dangerous confidence….

Another review from Karole Langset, this time about Yedda Morrison’s recent BathHouse reading: Yedda Morrison performance at EMU was abstract, unfamiliar, and yet awe inspiring. As Morrison came on to the stage the room went dark and her lantern she carefully placed on to the stage became the only noticeable light to fight the darkness…

EMU Student Alyssa Eckles offers her reaction to the Yedda Morrison BathHouse reading: After having read Girl Scout Nation, it was quite refreshing to hear Morrison read her text. When I personally read it, most of the language of the book seemed a bit self-righteous, but Morrison read with a very soft, cool voice. It allowed…

Student Alex Haber reacts to Yedda Morrison’s recent BathHouse reading: Yedda Morrison’s recent reading at EMU was haunting and uplifting, inspiring and queerly abstract.

Kasandra David reacts to Yedda Morrison’s recent BathHouse reading: Being unfamiliar with Yedda Morrison’s work gave me a unique platform from which to experience her performance.  There is something to be said for having negative space in one’s mind; I completely without preconceived impressions of her art.  If I arrived at the Bathhouse performance empty,…

EMU student Dustin Wingett reacts to Yedda Morrison’s recent BathHouse reading:  Before Yedda Morrison even took the stage and began speaking at the Student Center Auditorium, I was struck by her name.  I’ve never heard that name, Yedda, before and I liked the poetic way it sounded.  Her name was really the only thing I…

I did not anticipate what I would see…
