Liz Worth (April 19, 1982), is a Canadian author and performance artist. Originally from south Etobicoke, a Toronto suburb, she started her first book in 2006 at the age of 24. Worth's debut ended being the first in-depth account of punk history in Toronto in her debut ''Treat Me Like Dirt: An Oral History of Punk in Toronto and Beyond'. It was released when she was 27 years old. Worth's book was at the forefront of a renewed interest in preserving the history of Canadian punk, and has been cited as a trailblazing work that opened the doors for other books to be published about a previously under-documented portion of Canadian music history. Since the publication of ''Treat Me Like Dirt'', Worth has shifted her focus from music journalism to poetry, fiction, and performance art. In 2011, her first full-length poetry collection ''Amphetamine Heart'' was published by Guernica Editions. Worth has said that this collection reflects the mental and emotional states she was in during the book's creation. "I felt like I was collapsing in on myself," she told ''Proxart Magazine'' in 2011. Worth has also stated that ''Amphetamine Heart'' continues in the punk tradition of crossing genres between music and literature. Her next book, ''PostApoc'', will be published by Now or Never Publishing in 2013. As a performance artist, Worth is performs solo and as one-half of Salt Circle, a Toronto-based duo that combines spoken word, noise, and ritual and performance elements.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://saltcircle.bandcamp.com )〕 == References == * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liz Worth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
