During her lifetime, Burke was known for spoken word poetry performances at venues such as the Nuyorican Poets Café, Bowery Poetry Club, the National Arts Club, P.S. 122, and the St. Mark's Poetry Project.[1] Her work appeared in periodicals such as Ping Pong, BUST, KGB Bar Lit, GO and Velvet Park, and in anthologies such as Word Warriors: 35 Women Leaders in the Spoken Word Revolution (Seal Press, 2007), Reactions 5 (Pen & Inc, 2005), The Milk of Almonds: Italian-American Women Writers on Food & Culture (Feminist Press, 2002), The World in Us (St. Martins Press, 2000), Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache (Alyson Books, 2004) and His Hands, His Tools, His Sex, His Dress (Haworth Press, 2001).[1] She was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2010.[1] She maintained a blog, WTF Cancer Diaries, to document her experiences with cancer treatment,[3] but died {{where|date=March 2019}} on June 18, 2011 from bleomycin poisoning, a complication from her treatment.[1] My Awesome Place, her sole published book, was finalized for publication by a group of her friends and colleagues, including writer Sarah Schulman,[1] and was published by Topside Press in 2012. An out bisexual, she was survived by her partner Kelli Dunham,[1] who accepted the Lambda Literary Award for My Awesome Place on her behalf.[2] In addition to the Lambda Literary Award, My Awesome Place also won the Bi Writer Award at the Bi Writers Association's inaugural Bisexual Book Awards in 2013.[4] Works
