Girl Show

＂Kristy Bowen’s poems unfold like a fairy tale pop-up book; open like a cabinet of wonders in which Girl is both cabinet and wonder; flame and spark into the night air where we read by that light.＂?Mary Ann Samyn

＂These gorgeous lyrics document dangerous histories, the marginalia that matters most. Bowen’s dreamy, eerie poems create a subversively gothic landscape: ’mile after mile of busted/lunchboxes glinting in the sun.’＂?Carol Guess
