Pretty Punks: Poems, Portrait, and Play - Paperback

by Jessie McCarty (Author), Emma Wolgast (Drawings by), Sean Pessin (Designed by)

Three corpora in one, Pretty Punks forges a complex and intertwined aesthetics drawn from the American South, Irish/ Irish-American folk traditions, and trans-identity. "Poems" takes Yeats as a starting point and diverges with great urgency. "Portrait" offers a compelling told-tale about Louisiana bull riding and loss. "Play" features players contemplating the existential punishment of both facing and being death.
