Hyacinth Girl Press, the feminist publishing company run by Margaret Bashaar, has just released The Kind of Beauty That Has Nowhere to Go, a collaborative chapbook that I co-wrote with Elisa Gabbert. Katie Caron provided the art for the cover, and it turned out beautifully–see?
Here’s what you need to know about the collection, jacket copy-style: Inspired in equal parts by Susan Sontag’s “Notes on ‘Camp’” and George Orwell’s “Some Notes… on London Slang and Swearing” in Down and Out in Paris and London, these collaborative essayistic poems offer notes on 16 subjects from remorse to the male gaze, from bewilderment to nostalgia. You can read examples here at Arsenic Lobster and here at The Collagist. The collection can be yours for just $6 here. Add to cart!
