Description: Transgressive, surreal feminist poems about sexuality, faith, family, and identity, rooted in a working-class Catholic girlhood.
Review Quotes: "Amy Thatcher has concocted a weird girl religion in which genesis is a verb, the speaker's halo is unhooked like a brassiere, and the savior is 'limp as a dandelion / in a girl's dirty hand.' These poems are raw and intricately made, hilarious, heartbreaking, and utterly real. And--irony of ironies--their exhilarative blasphemy jolts me toward holiness." --Diane Seuss
