Poetry. Whos the queen of kundalini bloopers, Emily Dickinsons attitude problem (that bitch) and California dreams? Its Melissa Broder, who will charm your pants off and show you a little tough love in this vivid, witty first collection of poems. Each poem is artisan-crafted in controlled couplets, weighty triplets, tight syllabics and assonance that will take the top of your head off. But you wont have the time to absorb the academic monkeyshine so absorbed youll be on the flip side of Bat Mitzvah stress-syndrome, Aunt Sheilas in Taos, vampires in absentia, and brand names, brand names, brand names. From junkie fetishism to a housewife with a special thing for laundry, Broder does dark with magnetic charisma and enchanting humor.
