Publisher Description: Sexy, irreverent, and inventive Lovesick Stormtroopers, dowsing Girl Guides, movie stars, pool hustlers, and the mad queen Ranavalona ... With Knife Throwing Through Self-Hypnosis, Robin Richardson charts a path through a surreal otherworld that is at once carnal and aerial, fine-grained and crude. Yearning, unapologetic women who delight in the monsters they've created make these poems "a shield made of braids, / bassinet of broadswords," and "a ghost-like choir where a love affair / becomes a pulp-book, plotted perfectly to end." |
