Welcome to Litsy!

Excuse the ratty appearance, my baby has been playing with this poetry book! Many poems use traditional forms while a lot of content is focused on 21st century life, including climate change and social media. But aging, death, and nostalgia are prominent themes. Also: dogs, motherhood, domesticity, Catholicism, sex ("wicked boxes of delight"), parents, and fatphobia. Often sad but also sometimes funny and joyful, even occasionally bawdy.

A warm, witty collection of poems about womanhood, mothers & daughters, pop culture and aging. It‘s always a treat to read the writings of lesbian wordsmith Nancy Jo Cullen.

FYI, vanilla is a difficult food — fruit of the hand pollinated, hermaphroditic orchid. But really, shouldn‘t we all reach into our beloveds just so?
