In \u003cem\u003eBuzzkill Clamshell\u003c\/em\u003e, her third poetry collection, Amber Dawn circumvents the expectations of so-called confessional poetry, offering twisted mythmaking, extreme hyperbole, and lyrical gutter-mouthing that explore themes of sick and disabled queerness, aging, and desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith poems populated by severed heads, domme swan maidens, horny oracles, and other horrible purveyors of pleasure, \u003cem\u003eBuzzkill Clamshell\u003c\/em\u003e reads as if a leather dyke and a demonic goat had a baby―gleefully embracing the perverse while stomping its way through chronic pain and complex PTSD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlready acclaimed for her candid and often kinky verse, Amber Dawn pushes further into trauma-informed eroticism with self-assured irreverence and uncomfortable abjectivity.
