"One of the most unusual and persuasive books of poems Ive read in some time."Dwight Garner, New York Times
In a flurry of ideas, and with her typically sparse and open-ended lines, Minnis approaches her subject from a dizzying array of angles: ironic, celebratory, mournful, panicked, and often funny. Publishers Weekly
Chelsey Minniss new collection of poems follows the struggle of a flawed character in a cinematic world. Playing with old ideas of wealth and love from Holly woods golden era, these poems flirt with nostalgia without ever succumbing to it, casting a new light on the present through the fantasies of the past.
What do you want with me? Im just a dirty little shoplifter.
Im like a woman in a sequined gown in a dark cave. Can you tell me Im worse than others?
OK, yes, Im worse than others, but can you say Im the worst of all?
