Karyna McGlynn

This is a book of tragicomic gurlesque word-witchery inspired by the Kate Bush cosmos. Campily glamorous, darkly funny, obsessively ekphrastic, boozily baroque, psychedelically girly & musically ecstatic, 50 Things Kate Bush Taught Me About the Multiverse dazzles as Karyna McGlynn's third collection.

ARC given by Edelweiss+ for Honest Review

Pardon the language but this was FUCKING PHENOMENAL.
Angry, witty, feminist, and lush. McGlynn pulls no punches when it comes to the full-fontal fabulousness of these poems. 

A line from "Witches Be Everywhere" stood out to me so vividly that I needed to quote it here:
"Always so good 
at finding the smallest, shiniest things
& thrusting them triumphantly 
into the light, on the other side
of asphyxiation - smiling despite the fact
that nobody actually asked you
to bring them back."

My favorite poems are: "If You Ask Peter Gabriel To Astral Project", "Application To Model For Helmut Newton", and "How To Stop Raping The Muse."
