This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Kim Vodicka is an American poet, author, and performer originally from Louisiana.[1] She moved to Memphis in 2016[2] and is "the self-proclaimed 'Spokesbitch of a Degeneration.'"[3]
Vodicka's poetry has been described as "full of piss and vinegar and punches up at the powers that be."[4] She is the author of several collections of poetry, including Aesthesia Balderdash (Trembling Pillow Press, 2012),[5] Psychic Privates (White Stag Publishing, 2018),[6] The Elvis Machine (Clash Books, 2020),[7] and Dear Ted (Really Serious Literature, 2022).[8]
As a performer, Vodicka has been characterized as "caustic as Lydia Lunch at her most confrontational, yet sarcastic and squirm-inducing like refined stand-up comedy."[9] She has released several spoken word albums, including the Dear Ted EP, featuring "Ben Ricketts on guitar and synth, to create pop-infused disorienting noir soundscapes."[10]
In October 2020, she performed pieces from The Elvis Machine, accompanied by Ricketts, at Sun Studio in Memphis, becoming the first performer to live-stream a show from Sun Studio.[11]
