Natasha Dennerstein


Natasha Dennerstein was born in Melbourne, Australia, to a family originating in Belarus.  She worked as a psychiatric nurse for over 20 years, which gave her an interesting perspective on the human condition.  In 2011 she completed her Masters at the IIML at Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand.  Her poetry has been published in Fourth Floor, Landfall, Snorkel, JAAM, Takahe, Bloom, Transfer, Red Light Lit and several anthologies. She is currently living in San Francisco, where she is an MFA candidate in Poetry at the Creative Writing department at San Francisco State University. 



Her new book, "Anatomize,"  is a collection that takes a poetic journey around the human body.

Beginning in January 2016, on the Second Monday of every month we will host a reading of LGBTQ authors at Books Inc. Castro in San Francisco.

If you are an author, or know an author, who might be interested in having a reading through our series, have them send an inquiry to: PerfectlyQueerSF@gmail.com

It is preferable if the work has been published within the last 12 months and has not been printed through CreateSpace. Authors and books are selected by the producers Wayne Goodman and Rick May and confirmed by Books Inc. Castro. All kinds of books by Queer authors are welcome. If Books Inc. cannot order books through its regular distributors, authors will be required to complete a consignment agreement. Authors cannot sell books themselves at Perfectly Queer events.
