Fairy Tales Gone Awry

Résumé du livre

Elizabeth Harper has lived in Chicago all her life and likes knowing her way around. Having missed her calling as an erotic dancer, she gets a kick out of reading poetry in bars and having drunks hoot and holler for her to read them sonnets and villanelles. She has written two books of poetry, Love Songs from Psychopaths and Fairy Tales Gone Awry. She writes in many different styles and voices, utilizing influences from blues poetry, language poetry, surrealism, dadaism, and pop music, among other things. Murder, torment, sex, and mental illness are some of her favorite topics. Her poetry is characterized by black humor and childlike morbidity. Mainly she listens to the voices in her head and writes what they tell her to. --Elizabeth Harper.
