"I am stirred by the poems in this book - it is a sharp, unflinching
collection of poems about girlhood, wonder, casual everyday violence."
Yrsa Daley-Ward, author of 'bone' and 'The Terrible'
In this multi-faceted collection of odes, anecdotes, sonnets and prose,
Olivia Gatwood weaves together the trials and triumphs of growing up
and explores the many ways that fear and violence can be internalized
in a woman's psyche. At times blistering and riotous, at times soulful
and exuberant, Life of the Party is about what it means to be a girl
and a woman in today’s world and the challenge of briefly being both.
In powerful, piercingly candid language, Gatwood asks: How does one
grow from a girl to a woman in a world wracked by violence? What
happens to our bodies that make us who we are? Is this fear really
irrational?
A dazzling collection of raw and explosive poems from a thrilling new
feminist voice.
