A
veteran of the early and mid-nineties Columbus, OH indie music scene,
Sou MacMillan was the voice behind Caroline/Double Deuce band Pet
Ufo, which coined the term Tantrum Rock in the heyday of post-grunge
and riot grrl politic. Not that much has changed in a decade - she still
considers poetry as a much underestimated form of music, and she still
finds herself a gentle activist for the blurring of lines between media,
adding visual art to the mix over more than a decade of performance and
publications.
Former co-editor of Poetry Fly, and sole editor for Omnivore
Magazine, MacMillan has had her hands in small press, recording,
and performance poetry since 1989. She has competed on four National Poetry
Slam teams for Worcester, MA, including the championship finalist team
in 1997 at CT, and she has completed two novels, the most recent, Chrysanthemum,
currently being serialized on GotPoetry.com.
She has been published in numerous anthologies, including the 1995 Bottomdog
Coffeehouse Poetry Anthology and Manic D Press's Poetry Slam:
The Competitive Art of Performance Poetry, as well as publication
in 2X4, The Worcester Review, and The Boston Poet. In
2004 she was honored as a winner of the Jacob Knight Prize for poetry.
Sou also currently performs with Daily
Mouse who released their first full-length cd,
If Money Burns, a collection of music & poetry, in 2003.
Sou
resides in Worcester, MA with her husband, son, and four cats, one of
whom is most definitely Haunted.
