Pause :: Heartbeat

Poetry which expertly shares the Beat impulse. Sexy as Kazuko Shiraishi & euphoric as Ken Kesey. Yet these poems are stripped to the bone—directly expressed. When the author orally reads her work, she subtly pays attention to spaces & so shall you dear reader.

“She's rocking the sexual & cultural revolution with impeccable craft, irony, wit, and a woman's voice.” —Leah Ann Sullivan, founder of the Nagoya Writers Group Open Reading series

“Something pure and fragile in the midst of grimly damagingly real unyielding circumstances... These poems have an Icarus hubris and an ethereal eroticism about them.” —Duncan Whom, delicate delinquent and queer art cabaret chameleon

“Sticky and gritty and succulent language.” —Sorcha Chisholm, singer, musician, and co-creator of Drunk Poets See God
