Description: Reveling in the constructed realities of movie sets, contract negotiations, and distorted self-portraits, Rebecca Hazelton's keen and subversive poems confront the constant need to adjust our masks to appease impossible standards--and the desperate fear of having our true selves seen and understood.
Review Quotes: "These poems are wise, sexy, well-tuned language machines, full of stinging humor and quick-witted swagger, interrogating the highs and lows of cohabitation and maturation. Simply put, Gloss is masterful--a knockout collection I will continue to read, teach, and learn from for years to come."--Marcus Wicker, author of Silencer
