Kathy Acker was born in Austin Texas, USA on 11/5/1997. She had an intense love of poetry and wrote short stories and songs that have been referenced throughout the book written in love, love and romance. Her death was the most tragic of her life. Kathy was such a positive influence that when she was a teenage girl, her best friend and she wrote songs to her that made her cry. She often performed at a local high school.
Kathy loved music, video games, acting and reading and she was known for her strong sense of humor. Kathy did not write and performed any songs that she loved that she liked because she wasn't able to do so. She loved writing.
Her first name was Kathy Acker. When she learned she was dying of cancer, she asked me if I would read her songs "Kathy's Funeral" and "The Art Of Being Fucked". Kathy loved and wrote.
