Digressions of a Naked Party Girl [Paperback]

Sky Gilbert (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1998

A wild collection of hysterical telegrams, this book offers poems that are personal, political, angry, and wickedly funny. From Spanish drag queens, movie stars, and one-night stands to cute anatomy students and the inside of a despot's mind, the images of these scarlet confessions turn the reader into an instant therapist, confidante, and voyeur. Eclectic, topical, and always more than a cultural barometer, these poems range stylistically from intense, break-neck story-telling to pure surrealist rant.

Shocking and great! Gilbert's writing is very open and honest, and I look forward to reading whatever else he writes in the future.
