I hadn't known that Amber Tamblyn is a poet or that she is friends with Roxane Gay. So excited that I got to see them both & got this book to read! Also, they both talked positively about being in therapy & that made me so happy! Wonderful, brilliant feminists reducing mental health stigma!
pickI saw this referenced somewhere recently and thought it sounded intriguing. Tamblyn has produced lovely if often dark poetry based on the lives of actresses who died young or tragically. I‘ll be checking out Tamblyn‘s other work. Well done.
#LitsyPoetry365 Day 90 - Dana Plato
And on this last day of Women's History Month, this is the last poem I'll be sharing from Amber Tamblyn's collection.
#LitsyPoetry365 Day 86 - Heather O'Rourke
#LitsyPoetry365 Day 85 - Cindy Jenkins
#LitsyPoetry365 Day 79 - Judith Barsi
To understand more about the imagery in this poem, check out the Wikipedia page for Judith Barsi. Be forewarned that it's a very tragic story.
#LitsyPoetry365 Day 78 - Untitled Actress
In a major poetry mood so I'm diving into my #spiritanimal Amber Tamblyn's latest collection for the thousandth time since I skidded into a book store on the way to a theatre event and read the poems out loud to my friend who unknowingly subjected herself to a reading when she suggested the outing in the first place.
