This book analyzes the intersections of celebrity, self-branding, and "mommy" culture.

Fast readers will have trouble, but so what. To the good reader afraid of complexity, I would offer the clear trust that must...

The New York Times has said that "Jorie Graham's poetry is among the most sensuously embodied and imaginative writing we have," and this new collection is a reminder of how startling, original, and deeply relevant her poetry is.
