The first full-length collection of poems by Kat Georges, whose work has been heard and published internationally for three decades. Often hilarious, always insightful, Kat Georges writes inspired narrative poems inspired by punk rock, pop culture, food and the driving need to create, all the while exploring what it is to be a woman in the modern world. With poems about going to a Patti Smith concert, hearing Nirvana for the first time, a brawl at a health food store, these are imaginative, accessible works that resonate long after first reading.
“Poet Kat Georges hungrily devours love, politics, memory, sex, feminism and whimsy and transforms them into a muscular poetry demanding to be read aloud.” —Ron Dakron, author, Hello Devilfish
“A series of thought-provoking poems that use everyday vernacular to fashion a persona that walks right off the page. There is variety of style and mood here that takes the reader through the urban jungle through the eyes of a woman who has seen, and thought about it, much. Deeply textured and immensely readable.” —Joanie Zosike, actor, founder of NY Dada
“Kat Georges writes with fierce wit about girlhood and womanhood and rock and roll. This collection has my favorite of her poems, “Lithium,” which perfectly nails that moment between freewheelin' adolescence and broke-ass adulthood when you don't know whether to laugh or cry or just tear shit up. Eat this book!” —Meagan Brothers, author, Weird Girl and What’s His Name
“Compelling writing that is urban and contemporary with humor in the mix.” —Writing Thru It
